Skiing in Kashmir is every skier's dream. Beautiful views of Mt. Apharwat, set high in the Himalayan Mountains. A village called Gulmarg that was once a hill station for wealthy tourists during the 19th century and a favorite vacation spot for Mughal kings. In 1927, a ski resort was established in this far-off land located in the northern region of India, known as Kashmir. You'll love sampling authentic Kashmiri cuisine in local "dhabas." And, the skiing - an epic experience like no other. Pack your bags for an adventure of a lifetime!
ImagineSkiing in India - Himalayan snow – lots of it - that lasts for days. No crowds. No lines…just ski, ski, ski or ride, ride, ride. The terrain is endless at Gulmarg Ski Resort, and we recommend always skiing with a guide. But for the ultimate experience, why not try a Gulmarg Heliski adventure to experience even more epic terrain?
Kashmir Heliski (formerly Gulmarg Heliski) opened in 2011 by passionate powder hounds – who are industry experts, of course. Their guides know everything about Skiing in India and have years of experience Skiing in Kashmir.
So you've never gone heliskiing? You are a little skeptical and perhaps afraid. You think heliskiing is for expert skiers only? Well it's not. A heliski guide can take you to the steepest, deepest lines but can also find gentle sloping snowfields suitable for every ski level. The guide will access your ability, and you won't ski over your head.
A Gulmarg Heliski adventure is not just for men. Women will enjoy it too. You don't need to worry about safety. Powder guides are well versed in Search and Rescue and carry all the latest avalanche safety equipment.
And for even more powder possibilities, Kashmir Heliski now has two helicopters – they added another one for the 2014-2015 ski season – so you'll never ski the same terrain twice.
Worried about the price? O.k. heliskiing is not cheap , but you'll pay a fraction of what you would pay at a Western resort. And if you just can't shell out the money for a Powder Week – or if you're not sure heliskiing is for you - there are lots of affordable options.
For example, you can choose a package that includes 3 days of heliskiing combined with 3 days of backcountry skiing with a guide. And on "non-flying" days due to bad weather, you can backcountry ski with a local guide where you'll get to sample Gulmarg'sincredible gladed terrain.
For those of you who don't have powder skis, not to worry. Most packages offer skis and avalanche gear along with airport transfers and packed lunches.
Heliski packages include a 7th night on a houseboat on Dal Lake in Srinagar, the capital of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir.
For those who really hesitate committing to heliskiing, you can choose a one-day package with a hot lunch or even a half-day package for a taste of heliskiing.
