Whether you are chasing deep powder, skiing classic Himalayan lines, or exploring remote valleys, our focus is on quality skiing, smart decision-making, and memorable mountain days.
Expert Local Guides and Terrain Knowledge
Skiing in the Himalayas requires strong local knowledge. Our guides ski in Gulmarg throughout the season and understand how snow, weather, and terrain interact across different aspects and elevations. This insight allows us to choose the best routes, manage risk, and time descents for optimal conditions.
For international guests, this local expertise makes the experience smoother, safer, and far more rewarding.
Safety and Avalanche Awareness
Backcountry skiing involves real risks, especially in high-altitude terrain like Gulmarg. Safety is our top priority. Our guides carry full avalanche safety equipment and continuously assess snowpack stability and terrain hazards.
Before heading out, guests receive a clear briefing on avalanche awareness, group movement, and mountain safety. If you are new to backcountry skiing, our guides provide guidance and support to help you build confidence while staying within your comfort zone.
Who This Is For
Our backcountry skiing trips in Gulmarg are ideal for strong intermediate to advanced skiers who are comfortable skiing off piste in variable snow conditions. Previous backcountry experience is helpful but not required for guided trips.
