Off piste skiing in India – Gulmarg, Kashmir

Gulmarg is one of the world's finest ski areas, but it is still unknown by most skiers. I want to share this beautiful area with you on an 8-day trip to this unique region.

I have been skiing in Gulmarg for years now, and love the incredible slopes combined with presence of local culture. Gulmarg is in the foothills of the Himalayas, and for years was well known by the British for its pleasant summers. The town, whose name means "Meadow of Flowers," has since been converted into a hot spot for skiers.

At 4000 m, the top lift at Gulmarg is the highest in the Asian continent, and one of the highest in the world. From this dazzling spot, we have access to dream skiing conditions. The first 1000 m down is complete deep powder. You'll ski through many different bowls and wide couloirs. Then, from the mid-point at 3000 m, you can ski to the ancient villages of Tanmarg and Drang through serene pine forests. It adds a enchanting touch to an experience that's already magical to ski down through these distinct forests.

There are so many different parts to explore that you'll never get tired of skiing in Gulmarg. Actually you'll wish you had even more time! That's one of the reasons why I go back to ski there every year in January and February.

Another great reason to ski in Gulmarg is the close interaction with highland Indian culture. The town offers an uncommon view into how the locals live. Furthermore, all your interactions with the warm and friendly people will serve as a reminder of the beauty of human connection around the world.

I hope you understand how special this trip really is. It's in an incredible ski area, surrounding by the beautiful Himalayan mountains and culture. If you join me, it will be an experience you'll never forget.
