About Tea Plucking in Gulmarg

When talking about “things to do” in Gulmarg, you can indulge in tea plucking. Of course, there`s no skipping the mountainous adventure sports like skiing and snowboarding but you must also get to experience the local non-adventurous activities like tea plucking.

For those who like the slow side of life instead of the risky ones like skiing, especially love the experience of tea plucking. Many people would have already indulged in tea plucking in other hill stations of India but doing it in Gulmarg would be different because the altitude is higher and the weather is better.  

If you visit Gulmarg and not go tea plucking, your holiday will remain incomplete. The terraced tea plantations are beautiful to even take a casual stroll through them. While tea picking, you also get to sample the famous Kashmiri kahwa. Kahwa is a Kashmiri special recipe of tea that is a blend of soda and salt in sheer tea. This mix does sound weird to people from other parts of India but it does taste refreshingly intriguing to the taste buds. And what is a holiday without exploring the local cuisine right?

You can get to dress up like the local tea pluckers for photographs during the tour of the tea estates. The tea basket on your back and the bandana on your head will transform you into one of the locals momentarily.

Kashmir has two specialized tea to offer you, Kashmiri Kahwa and sheer tea. The sheer tea is salty to taste and pinkish in color while Kahwah is green in color. These special tea preparations are made with the locally grown tea leaves. Baked snack acts as accompaniments with these tea beverages.

Tea plucking in Gulmarg is popular among honeymoon couples, who like to play dress-up and get photographed. Beautiful photography can be done keep the tea garden as background. The location serves perfect as a page in the honeymoon diaries. Whether you choose for a stereotype pose or an innovative one, the poser in you will get the better of you in a tea plantation. The romantic weather and the surrounding greenery with the backdrop of mountains is just perfect to kindle the romance in you.

So, all said and done, do not skip tea plucking with your loved ones in Gulmarg. It is an activity that unwinds you and helps you relax. This activity is best enjoyed in summers when there is no snow to mess with your day-out. The guides and locals in the tea estates are very warm people and they welcome you to give you the best experience that you deserve. You are free to ask them questions about the tea plucking and processing and they will explain it to you the best they can.

    Tushar's 6 days trip to Gulmarg

    Last week we had a great visit to Kashmir with help of Kashmir heaven. We had a very smooth and enjoyable transit, stays and foods. Even the hotel staff provided on demand food. Failzalbhai selected such customer friendly hotels for us. Most important:- The cab - this is most important for us as t
    raveller because he is only guide for us. Faisal bhai selected Tanveer bhai for our cab service, Tanveer bhai is very nice person, punctual and trustworthy person. He saved lots of money by proper guidance in selection of end level cab, pony rides and sikara. Overall I had great days in Kashmir with help of Kashmir heaven tour and travels. The Kashmir heavenly landscape, mountain and the dal lake.

    Rakesh's 5 days trip to Gulmarg

    "I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a Kashmir trip with Road to Trips India, and it was truly unforgettable! The team, especially Iqra and Pankaj, went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable and smooth journey. Every detail was meticulously planned, from the stunning itinerary to the
    comfortable accommodations. Iqra’s deep knowledge of the region and her warm hospitality made us feel welcomed and connected to the beauty and culture of Kashmir. Thanks to Iqra and Pankaj for handling all logistics with ease and always ready to help. Thanks to their dedication, we could immerse ourselves in the breathtaking scenery without worry. I highly recommend Road to Trips India to anyone looking to explore the wonders of Kashmir. This was a trip of a lifetime!"

    Trip is planned by Breezy travels - Arooj. Everything is planned meticulously. Stayed for 3 nights in Hotel Zariyab and one night in Anarkali house boat which are both good in terms of service, cleanliness, food etc. The cab driver is polite and co-operative. Overall it’s a good experience in Srinag
    ar hotels. Stayed for one night in Hotel Frosty in Pahalgam. The hotel staff is rude and they served only one item(Poha) for feedback. This need to be improved/alternative to be provided for future guests visiting Srinagar:

    Ilajha's 7 days trip to Gulmarg

    Travel agent asked for tip, never ever had been asked for tip by an agent and when we denied after completing our trip ,agent said giving tip is not an big issue.Hotel Manager at hotel Grand Hill View begged for tip while he did not even lift our hankies ,no greetings,no welcome , nothing but while
    we were leaving he came to my husband asking for tip and when given 100 Rs ,he asked for more money saying give us more .As if our money is tree grown not earned. Pony ride charges were not mentioned in the itinerary at least must have been mentioned lum sum cost per person,so itinerary was not good. Coming back to hotel Rozan jay our room was good But at dinner, food was getting served as if you are having free food. New Manager walking in suit kept eyes on you while you fill your plate. And this behaviour was very unwelcoming , like seriously if you want your guest to have food as per your liking and serving capacity then do not even serve food. Also Menü varied to normal to good only when larger group checked in into the hotel, this is not right way. At least do not make your longer staying guests feel as nothing and less respectable just because they are not coming in with 5 6 persons. Gulmarg was great .

    Jamuna's 5 days trip to Gulmarg

    We had booked for kashmir tour package through travel triangle, we received quotes from 3 travel agencies in kashmir and we chose kashmir heaven. Fathima provided quotes for 3 star hotels which I asked to change to 4star hotels. We booked for 5 nights and 6 days. Vehicle arranged was good and driver
    was ok but did not act as tour guide, he was only acting as driver till end. Among hotels booked Ennco resorts, White water resorts and Khaleel palace were good but we were not happy with zaryab and cherry ripe house boat. At house boat it was worst experience and ghulam attendant was very rude, food was very bad, there was no hot water, bathrooms were unhygenic. We checked in at 8pm and wanted to spend some time in houseboat to enjoy night view but by 10 pm we were asked to go back to rooms and not sit in entrance area. Morning there was no tea provided and breakfast was provided too late at 9 am. Manager of Kashmir heaven Shahid had told us that he will refund for houseboat but its been more than 2 weeks nothing has been done. During our visit we were taken to only selected shops for purchasing, we were not given options to go to market or shop from different vendors. Though our trip was good and safe, we were not 100% happy with services, 70% was good hence I have rated 3 star.

    I recently took a trip to Kashmir organized by Kashmir heavens tours and travels, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! Every detail was thoughtfully planned, from the accommodation and transportation to the well-curated itinerary. The team was incredibly professional and attentive,
    ensuring that we felt comfortable and informed every step of the travel. I want to give a huge thank you to our driver Sameer for making our trip truly exceptional. He went above and beyond to ensure our comfort throughout the journey. Sameer navigated every road with expertise and care, making the drives enjoyable and relaxing. He was always punctual, helpful with our luggage, and had a warm, friendly attitude that made us feel right at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better driver. Communication was smooth and clear, and any questions we had before or during the trip were answered promptly by Fatima. I felt like I was in safe hands throughout, which allowed me to fully relax and enjoy my travels.
