About This Route
What to expect on the Srinagar–Gulmarg drive.
The road climbs steadily from Srinagar through Tangmarg before reaching Gulmarg's meadow at roughly 2,650 metres. Outside heavy snowfall, it's a smooth 90-minute drive. Best time to visit: Dec–Feb for snow, Mar–Jun for meadows. Most day-trippers combine the drive with the Gulmarg Gondola (Asia's highest cable car) and return to Srinagar the same evening.
