We started our day with Gondola Ride at Gulmarg, we had book our Gondola tickets for Phase 1 & Phase 2 around 20 days in advance. It is believed Gulmarg visit is incomplete without Gondola ride.

Phase - 1 Gulmarg to Kongdori - Ticket price - Rs 760 per person
Phase - 2 Kongdori to Apharwat - Ticket Price - Rs 960 per person

There are different time slots in which you need to book the tickets, the ride starts at 9:00 am till 1:30 pm.

After reaching Phase - 2 Apharwat we went to see the Frozen lake.

Food is expensive due to unavailability, it is advisable to carry along with you. Weather is unpredictable at phase 2 so carry sufficient winter clothes.

Miasa cafe at Gulmargl - After returning from Gondola ride we had lunch - Veg Noodles - Rs 300.

Maharaja Palace - This used to be the palace of Maharaja Hari Singh during summer in the 19th century, It is open for Tourists.

Maharani Temple - This temple dedicated to lord Shiva built by Maharaja Hari Singh for her wife. This temple is built on a hilltop which is visible from a distance. Scenic view from this temple is so mesmerizing.

Mahatta Homestay - Then we proceeded towards Srinagar paid around Rs 5000 double occupancy for stay, for dinner Rs 500 per person.

I did this booking through make my trip - i guess i paid 10,250 for 2 rooms without dinner but breakfast was included in the package.

After booking i requested them over the call, if they can cook kashmir food in dinner, that’s how they made the food keeping the request in mind.

Kashmiri Haak Saag, Kashmiri Peela Paneer & Dum aloo.
