Best Time to Visit Gulmarg
Gulmarg can be visited throughout the year, but the best travel period depends on the experience you want.
Winter: December to March
Winter is popular with visitors looking for snow-covered landscapes, skiing and snowboarding. The amount and timing of snowfall vary each year, so snow conditions cannot be guaranteed on a particular date.
During heavy snowfall, road travel, Gondola operations and other activities may be affected.
Spring: March to April
Spring brings changing scenery as snow begins to melt and the meadows gradually become greener. Weather can still be cold, particularly at higher elevations.
Summer: May to September
Summer is suitable for enjoying Gulmarg's green meadows, mountain scenery, outdoor walks and sightseeing. It is also a popular period for families and visitors travelling with children.
Autumn: October to November
Autumn brings cooler weather and changing colours in the surrounding landscape. It can be a pleasant period for sightseeing, although temperatures drop as winter approaches.
