Summer and winter are the peak tourist seasons in Gulmarg. Though temperatures can reach zero degrees Celsius and even lower, tourists visit Gulmarg for snowfall and snow activities. We highly recommend you keep an eye on the weather, as avalanches and snowstorms are common during winter.

You can visit famous monuments here during the monsoons. This is an off-season in Gulmarg so you will find great deals on hotels and stays. But make a note of the weather here and carry rainwear.
