About Gulmarg Gondola
Asia's largest and highest and world’s second-largest and second highest cable car project, Gulmarg Gondola is the top attraction in Gulmarg. In fact, a Gulmarg tour without a ride on the popular cable car is considered incomplete. This must-do activity in Gulmarg is perfect for family vacationers, romantic couples as well as adventurers seeking to get to the top the mountain for the best skiing experience (in winter). The scenic views of mountains and valley during the cable car ride are also unforgettable and unmatched. The gondola can ferry 6 people at a time and 600 people per hour.
Gondola Cable Car Riding Levels
The cable car ride takes place in two levels/stages.
Phase I: from the Gulmarg resort to Kongdori Station (2600 m) in the bowl-shaped Kongdori Valley which takes 9 minutes to reach Phase II: from Kongdori Station to Kongdori Mountain (3747 m), the shoulder of Apharwat Peak which takes 12 minutes. (Phase 2 will be open only if the weather conditions are favourable. During snowfall mostly the Phase 2 Gondola is closed. The Tickets for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 are available at the Gondola Entrance and prices are fixed.
Summer vs Winter in Gulmarg
Different seasons, different scenes. If you are fond of snowfall, skiing etc, winter season is fine. Greenery, flowers, the waters, trekking can be enjoyed in summer months. All the places are open that time. The only big reason for visiting in winters is snow. I would recommend going in winter and then back in summer! it will feel like a different place!
