I am considering a trip to Gulmarg for February 2016 and have been to a few websites about the area. http://www.skigulmarg.com , http://www.gulmarggondola.com/index.php & http://www.skihimalaya.com have been good sources.

My plan is to fly from N America (Canada) to Delhi then take a local flight to Srinagar & eventually make my way to the Village. I realize that snow conditions and weather can be quite extreme (..both with no snow in the Village or too much).

Does anyone have any advice about traveling there, the region or the on hill culture? I have been to the inner Himalaya (more East towards Auli, Himchal Pradesch and Nanda Devi) Rehearsed with bouncing around goat tracks on local ‘buses’, limited accommodation & other umm ‘intricacies’ of Indian travel.

I’m also looking for travel partners considering safety on mountain and touring out of the region from the unload of the Gondola at Gulmarg..
