More Time on the Mountain. More of Gulmarg to Explore.
Experience Gulmarg beyond the groomed runs with guided freeride and off-piste packages designed for confident skiers and snowboarders.
Choose a shorter 5-day trip, our classic 7-day Powder Week, or a longer 10-day experience with more time to explore and adapt around mountain conditions.
Gulmarg's mountain terrain extends far beyond its groomed pistes, with high-alpine bowls, open slopes, tree skiing, and off-piste routes across the mountain.
Our Powder Packages give experienced skiers and snowboarders the time and local guidance to explore more of that terrain.
Rather than following the same fixed route each day, guiding can adapt around your group, weather, visibility, snow, lift operations, and mountain conditions.
The main decision is how much time you want to spend here.
A shorter freeride trip for riders who want to make the most of limited time. Spend four guided days exploring Gulmarg's off-piste terrain, with accommodation and the main trip essentials arranged around your time on the mountain.
Our classic week-long Gulmarg freeride experience. Six nights in Gulmarg give you more time to settle into the mountain, with five guided riding days and the flexibility to explore different terrain as conditions evolve.
Stay longer and give yourself more time to explore. A longer itinerary for experienced riders who want to make freeride and off-piste skiing or snowboarding the focus of their Gulmarg trip. The additional days provide more flexibility around changing weather, snow, mountain conditions, and recovery.
