Skiing
& Snowboarding in Gulmarg - KASHMIR |
 |
Gulmarg
- kashmir :
Gulmarg is located in the Baramulla district
of Jammu and Kashmir and stands at a height
of 2,730 meters above sea level. It is
about 57 kms from Srinagar, the capital
city. |
Gulmarg
holds a position as one of the highest
lift-served ski resorts in the world.
This is due to setting-up of a Gandola
Cable Car Lift from Gulmarg to Apharwat
top. Presently, only the first section
of the Gandola, from Gulmarg to Kongdori
is operational, giving a downhill ski
run of about 3 kms. In addition, three
ski lifts and one chair lift also service
the resort, which are suitable for beginners
and intermediate-level skiing, respectively.
Gulmarg-Things to keep in mind
: - Though Gulmarg is more or less safe
for tourists, it is advisable that you
update yourself with the current law
and order situation in the area, before
you visit Gulmarg. Gulmarg
is very cold, so make sure you carry
heavy woolens with you, while you tour
Gulmarg. |
Skiing
& Snowboarding in NARKANDA |
|
|
|
| 64
km from Shimla is one of India’s
oldest ski resorts, Narkanda. Narkanda
lies at an altitude of 8,100 ft, and is
an important horticultural centre. Fruit
orchards on the surrounding hills produce
some of Himachal’s most luscious
apples and cherries, making Narkanda one
of Himachal’s pleasantest settlements,
no matter what time of the year. What’s
good about Narkanda is that it’s
still comparatively unspoilt and uncrowded,
so you won’t find yourself suffocated
by hordes of fellow skiers.
The
slopes at Narkanda run the gamut from
beginner’s to advanced, from slalom
to cross-country. Hattu Peak, 6 km from
Narkanda, towers 2,000 ft above Narkanda
and has popular ski slopes. |
As
its no high altitude, we do not encounter
avalanche accidents here.
What
You Need To Wear On Slopes
The
best way to keep warm while skiing is to dress
in layers. You will be most comfortable with
three warm layers, rather than in one huge
woollen monster of a sweater. Many of the
modern synthetic fabrics like fleece are amazingly
warm and lightweight, well worth the expense.
What to wear
• Woollen Cap - absolutely necessary
since you lose much body warmth through your
head.
• Warm socks - several pairs (thin and
thick) that can be layered and worn
• Gloves and/or mittens
• Scarf or muffler
• Pullovers/Sweaters/Sweat shirts
• Thermal underwear (longjohns)
• Wind proof jacket
• Dark glasses and sun block - you'll
be surprised at how strong the glare of the
snow is and how the UV rays can burn your
skin even though you may never see the sun.
• Snow boots or trekking boots.
