Planning your first ski trip
A first ski trip is mostly about the first three days. Get those right — the right instructor, boots that fit, a slope that is not trying to frighten you — and the rest of the week looks after itself. Gulmarg is a kind place to learn: the nursery slopes sit at the top of the first gondola stage, and the snow is usually soft enough to fall over in.
We book the course, the gear and the lift access together, so nobody spends their first morning queueing at three different counters. Your instructor is certified and speaks to you before the trip, so the group you join matches what you can actually do.
Most first-timers take a three-day course and add a private hour or two at the end of it. If you are travelling with people who already ski, we plan the days so you meet them for lunch rather than losing them at the top of a run.

Questions
What is the best time to visit Kashmir?
Kashmir is beautiful year-round. Spring (March–May) brings blooming gardens and tulips, summer (June–August) offers lush meadows ideal for trekking, autumn (September–November) turns the chinars golden, and winter (December–February) is perfect for snow and skiing in Gulmarg. Tell us your travel dates and we’ll recommend the best experiences for that season.
