Driving from Srinagar to Gulmarg
The drive to Gulmarg is one of Kashmir's most popular day trips and extended ski vacations. The journey proceeds smoothly from Srinagar through Narbal and Magam to Tangmarg. The final 12 km stretch from Tangmarg up to Gulmarg ascends through steep pine hairpin turns.
Winter Driving & Tangmarg Regulations
During heavy snowfall (December to March), local authorities require either 4x4 capability or anti-skid tyre chains past the Tangmarg checkpoint. Our 4WD fleet—including the Mahindra Scorpio N 4x4, Thar Roxx, and Jimny 4x4—ensures uninterrupted passage directly up to Gulmarg bowl and your hotel.
