Meet the People Behind Your Gulmarg Experience
Meet the local instructors, ski and snowboard coaches, and mountain guides who help guests experience Gulmarg at every level, from first turns to advanced mountain terrain. The right person on the mountain can make all the difference.
Local Knowledge. Personal Guidance.
Gulmarg is a mountain where local knowledge matters.
Our team brings together instructors and guides with experience across Gulmarg's beginner slopes, lift-accessed terrain, off-piste areas, and Himalayan backcountry.
For beginners, that means patient instruction and a progression suited to your confidence and ability. For experienced skiers and snowboarders, it means working with people who understand the mountain and can plan around ability, terrain, snow, weather, and current conditions.
Most importantly, we want every guest to feel welcomed, supported, and excited to experience Gulmarg.
Backcountry Ski Guides
Beyond Gulmarg's groomed slopes lies a much larger mountain environment.
Our backcountry guides bring extensive experience in the terrain around Gulmarg, including off-piste skiing, ski touring, backcountry routes, and heli-ski terrain.
Choosing terrain in the mountains is never simply about finding the deepest snow. Ability, weather, snowpack, visibility, and current mountain conditions all matter. Our guides use their local experience to help plan each day around the group and the conditions.

Ski Instructors
Learn With Someone Who Understands Your Pace
Good instruction isn't about rushing you down the mountain. It's about helping you build the skills and confidence you need to progress.
Our ski instructors work with guests across different experience levels, from complete beginners learning balance, stopping, and their first turns to returning skiers looking to improve their technique.
Lessons can be adapted around your experience, confidence, and goals, with progression onto more challenging terrain when appropriate.

Build Confidence on Your Board
Learning to snowboard has its own rhythm. From finding your balance and understanding edge control to linking turns and progressing across the mountain, having the right instruction can make the learning process much more enjoyable.

The Right Guidance for Your Mountain Goals
Not every guest needs the same kind of support. We'll help match your experience with the right type of instruction or guiding.
Learning From the Beginning
If it's your first time skiing or snowboarding, start with an instructor who can help you build the fundamentals at a comfortable pace.
Improving Your Technique
Already comfortable on snow? Private instruction can focus more closely on your technique, confidence, and progression.
Exploring Beyond the Slopes
Experienced skiers and snowboarders looking toward off-piste or backcountry terrain should choose the appropriate guided experience for their ability and objectives.
Experience Built in Gulmarg
Our team's connection with Gulmarg goes beyond working here. These are mountains our local instructors and guides have spent years skiing, snowboarding, and exploring.
That familiarity helps with everything from choosing suitable learning terrain for a first-time skier to understanding how weather and snow conditions can affect a day in the mountains.
Professional instruction and guiding also mean recognizing that mountain conditions change. Routes, terrain, and daily plans should always be adapted to the people involved and the conditions at the time.
A Team That Lives the Mountain
Our instructors and guides have spent years sharing Gulmarg with visiting skiers and snowboarders from around the world.
From first turns on the beginner slopes to days spent exploring powder and backcountry terrain, their work is built around helping guests experience more of the mountain at an appropriate level.
