Hi friends
[4]
I recently went to
Gulmarg, Kashmir for two days.
[8]
So in this video, I will tell you
[10]
that in two days
what activities you can do,
[15]
places you can visit,
cuisine that you can try
[18]
and how you can plan
your entire trip in Gulmarg.
[28]
That was fun guys.
[31]
So let's begin with accommodation part.
[36]
I really enjoyed my stay in
the hotel called Rosewood
[40]
which was beautiful and centrally heated.
[43]
The hotel had great facilities
and a beautiful exterior
[47]
and that's why I enjoy snowfall
just outside my hotel.
[58]
You have to feel the snowfall
on your face, on your skin.
[70]
There are around 62 hotels in Gulmarg.
[73]
Ranging from ₹2500 to ₹10,000 per night
[77]
so you can choose as per your budget.
[81]
It's cold let's go inside.
[86]
Now I am going inside the hotel
[89]
for the breakfast.
[94]
See the snow is stuck with my shoe.
[96]
I need to remove it.
[99]
I enjoyed my breakfast in the hotel
after enjoying the snow.
[104]
Please remember to include dinner
along with breakfast in your package
[109]
while booking the hotel.
[111]
Otherwise, you might have
problem with food at night.
[114]
Mostly hotels offer both
things in their packages.
[118]
Guys I just took a shower in Gulmarg, yes!
[123]
Whenever you come here do not fear
because the Hotel is centrally heated
[128]
and as you can see
we have the shower system in the back
[133]
and we get hot water.
[135]
So you can enjoy the snowy scenery
while having a relaxing shower.
[143]
After having shower,
it's time to dress up properly
[148]
to enjoy snow activity
at -5° temperature.
[151]
So let me show you the art of layering
for extreme temperature and snow.
[157]
So basically these are warmers
[160]
this is by a Japanese brand called UNIQLO.
[164]
So this is my first layer.
[166]
Let me show you the other layers.
[168]
It is a double-layered insulated,
T-shirt like thing.
[172]
So this will be our second layer.
[174]
It is very important to
have layering on snow.
[178]
Otherwise, it's hard to prevent the cold.
[181]
Snow is basically the
frozen water i.e. ice
[184]
therefore while going for any snow activity
we have to wear a material
[188]
which is water resistant/proof.
[190]
Therefore I have to
wear this pyjama over it.
[195]
On the top
I will wear this jacket. Again,
[198]
this jacket is also insulated
and it is very lightweight.
[203]
I purchased it from USA
[204]
You'll get good winter wear from Decathlon
in India, you can purchase it from there.
[209]
Apart from that, you will need
waterproof warm gloves, warm mask,
[213]
woollen band, cap
[215]
and some warmy packets
to keep you warm up.
[218]
This is a warmy.
[219]
I feel cold very much,
I don't want to take any chance.
[222]
These are warmies
[223]
you need to open the package
and rub it and keep it in any pocket
[227]
it will keep you warm.
[228]
It becomes very warm.
These are woollen socks
[232]
it is very important to cover
and keep the feets warm.
[236]
The most important thing is
[240]
shoes, they are no ordinary shoes.
[242]
They are for wearing in the snow.
[245]
General shoes slips over the snow.
[249]
That's why it is necessary to
wear this kind of ankle-length shoes.
[254]
I'm ready to go out in snow.
[268]
Well guys, now I am
going for the Gondola ride.
[271]
The ticket for phase 1 is ₹740
to and fro.
[277]
This is a must-do if you're coming
to Gulmarg, I'm so excited, let's go.
[298]
And guys I have boarded my gondola.
[304]
Let's see how is this experience.
[310]
This is the world's
second-highest cable car
[313]
and visually it's breathtaking.
[317]
Look at the view around.
[325]
Can you see the steepness behind,
we started our journey from there
[330]
and we are going to
reach the next point.
[343]
And here we are.
[345]
It was a beautiful ride.
[348]
It's worth the money,
it's a must-do in Gulmarg.
[351]
We have reached the phase 1.
[355]
So guys, now I am climbing down
from the gondola station.
[365]
The next important thing that you
want to do here is snow activities.
[371]
People come here mostly for skiing,
beginners are taught skiing
[375]
and if you know skiing professionally
then you can go down by skiing.
[396]
Well I was not very keen on skiing
so I chose snowmobile for ₹2500.
[403]
And I think it was totally worth it.
[419]
Friends
[421]
I drove this snowmobile myself
and you can go to 3 different points.
[429]
Which is really very beautiful.
[432]
From here the beauty of
Kashmir looks completely different.
[437]
I don't know when you will
come here but today I'm showing you.
[441]
Let me show you this beautiful scenery.
[454]
After finishing snowmobile activity
I came back to the base of phase 1
[459]
where there are restaurants at
10,000 feet above the sea level.
[463]
And I enjoyed
my yummy vegetable Maggi.
[467]
After that, instead of
returning down in gondola
[470]
I booked snow sledge ride for 7 km
[474]
to go down the mountain slopes
and trust me it was fun.
[481]
Amazing.
[483]
The snow sledge guy
charged ₹2000 for this ride.
[487]
Definitely do snow sledging
when you come here.
[491]
The scenery that you will see
while riding the sledge
[494]
it can't be seen through any means.
[502]
Shake the branches
[505]
hold a branch and shake...
[511]
Wow!
[513]
Roll
[523]
That was fun guys, woohoo!
[526]
Friends, like me, if you also passionate
about photography and video
[530]
then remember Mr Nazir
[532]
who helped me today
[534]
in shooting all the photographs and videos
because when you are doing snow activities
[539]
you are not able to use
your phone and camera, so rely on him.
[542]
I will drop his details in
the description box below.
[545]
Say hi and bye everyone.
[547]
Thank you.
[551]
So that was the end
of my day one in Gulmarg.
[556]
Next morning, new adventure.
[565]
Guys, today I'm going to this
beautiful place called Drung village
[571]
which is located at a driving
distance of 11 km from Gulmarg.
[575]
And this drive is so beautiful
[578]
but that village is going
to be more beautiful.
[582]
So let's go and explore it,
what do you say?
[600]
I have reached the Drung village.
[603]
We have come here crossing that bridge.
[606]
In summers there is a river
that flows below that bridge
[610]
still there is water.
[611]
But I'm going to show the
highlight of this place now.
[616]
You must have been listening to its sound.
[621]
Come...
[641]
There is a waterfall behind me.
[645]
Can you guys imagine a waterfall
in midst of all the snow?
[649]
This is a river here
[652]
which is still flowing
slowly in this freezing cold
[655]
I'm sure in summers and spring
it must be flowing full-fledgedly.
[659]
But, seeing a waterfall here
[663]
it's a delight.
[666]
You must come to Drung village
if you are coming to Gulmarg.
[671]
It's at a very short distance
of 12-13 km
[676]
but you must come here
to behold this scenic beauty.
[680]
Okay.
[683]
After finishing this mini trip to Drung
[686]
I came back to explore
[688]
the local market in Gulmarg.
[697]
So, guys, this is Gulmarg's
small and cute main market.
[704]
From where you can purchase
clothes and other items, in case
[708]
you have forgotten
something to bring
[710]
a lot of shops are here.
[712]
But the main thing is that
you come here to eat.
[722]
I have come to Bhat Dhaba
[725]
and I'm going to enjoy the food here.
[735]
Friends I'm going to dig into
my Kashmiri dam aloo,
[739]
my favourite Rajma chawal and chapati.
[744]
Dhaba style.
[746]
Wow! The chapati is so soft.
[761]
Guys, Kashmiri Kahwah is
being prepared upon the oven.
[766]
- This oven is constantly burning.
- Yes Ma'am, it's constantly burning.
[769]
And this brings a unique taste to it.
[772]
The more it boils,
the more tasty it becomes.
[775]
- So please serve me one Kahwah.
- Yes ma'am, surely.
[785]
Guys cheer to Kashmiri Kahwah.
[790]
Wow! This is the best thing to enjoy in cold.
[797]
So after two days in Gulmarg
I headed back to Srinagar.
[801]
If you are planning your trip in winters
[804]
it'll cost you around ₹15,000-₹20,000
[807]
excluding the flight fares.
[810]
Trust me it's worth it.
[816]
Well, friends, that was my stay
and a trip to Gulmarg.
