GULMARG TOURISM

The beauty of Gulmarg and its proximity to Srinagar makes it one of the most popular hill stations in India. Originally called Gaurimarg, Gulmarg got its current name from Sultan Yusuf Shah in the 16th century.

Located in Jammu and Kashmir in north India, Gulmarg was a favorite of Mughal emperor Jahangir, who was so fascinated with the land and its beauty that he once collected 21 different types of flowers from here. DO SEE Photos of Gulmarg in April show why it is the best summer holiday destination ever!
