TRAVEL GUIDE TO GULMARG: TIPS, SIGHTS AND PRACTICAL INFORMATION

In the summer, Gulmarg - also known as the "Meadow of Flowers" - is a colorful sea of ​​flowers, while from December the city turns into a beautiful, snowy winter wonderland. But whether you are there in the summer or winter, that you will look your eyes out, is one thing that is certain. In this short travel guide I share the best tips and most beautiful sights of Gulmarg.

Sights

There is plenty to do in Gulmarg all year round. In the summer the city and its surroundings are full of
colored flowers, while in the winter everything is covered with a thick layer of snow. People mainly go to
Gulmarg to enjoy the breathtakingly beautiful nature, although you shouldn't miss these sights when you
are in Gulmarg.

Gulmarg Gondola

Of course you cannot leave Gulmarg without going up the mountain with the gondola. The Gulmarg
Gondola is the city's landmark and attracts countless tourists throughout the year. You can visit two phases
with the cable car: Phase I and Phase II. In the first phase there are also various activities to do in summer
and winter. From Phase II you can hike to the Alpather Lake in the summer and you have a magnificent
view of the Himalayas. Book your ride with taxi rental service in udaipur for trip in india.

Wintersport

Gulmarg is one of the few places in India where you can ski and snowboard. From December there is a
lot of snow and you can ski down a few hills, but for the real thing it is best to come between mid-January
and late February. Even when you can't ski or snowboard, there is still plenty to do in the winter, such as
sledging, on the back of the snowmobile, on the back of the quad and walking through the snowy forests.

Hiking

In the summer but also in the winter you can take beautiful walks in the city and the surrounding area.
When you have a little fitness, you can take a path next to the gondola and go hiking to Phase I. You then
walk through the pine forest and on the way you come across the most beautiful views. We did this in
December, when everything was full of snow, and we thought it was fantastic. In the summer, a walk
through The Gulmarg Biosphere Reserve seems to be highly recommended.

Sleeping and eating

We were in Gulmarg during Christmas and because it was very busy and many hotels were fully booked
months in advance, we had to stay in two different hotels. We first slept two nights at The Vintage and then
two nights at Hotel Heevan Retreat . The Vintage was very good in terms of hotel, but less in terms of
location and Heevan Retreat is less luxurious, but then again has a fantastic location. But with both hotels
you're in the right place anyway!

If you really want to spend the night in luxury, you should go to The Kyber Himalayan Resort & Spa - a
beautiful resort with a great location and incredibly good food. Also Hotel Highlands Park is recommended.
You don't have budget accommodation in Gulmarg, but if you don't want to spend too much, Pineview
Hotel , Green Park Gulmarg and Hotel Signature are the best options. Best taxi service in udaipur providing stay and food booking for your trip at best price must try.

In terms of restaurants, you should especially like the restaurants in hotels. If you want to eat really well
and luxuriously, the Khyber restaurant is a must. It is reasonably pricey, but really amazingly good. We
also ate great times at The Vintage. For fresh bean coffee you have to go to Black Bear Brew or Miasa
Cafe & Lounge.

Transport

If you want to go to Gulmarg, you first have to fly from Delhi (1.5 hours) or Mumbai (3 hours) to Srinagar.
From Srinagar it is another one and a half hour drive to Gulmarg. If you want to go to Gulmarg from
Pahalgam, it takes about 4 hours by car.

Gulmarg itself is just a small town, so everything in the city is within walking distance. If you want to visit
sights in the area, it is best to book a taxi for a whole or a half day. You can do this on the street, but you
can also have it arranged by your hotel.

Good to know

• You can ski and snowboard in Gulmarg, but it is not really comparable to winter sports in Europe.
• It is all arranged pretty messy and the slopes are not as good and slippery as in the European
• countries. So it is not really recommended for beginners. On the other hand, it is a whole lot cheaper
• than when you go on winter sports in Europe. Renting a full day of skis costs 300 rupees and for a
• snowboard you pay 500 rupees for a whole day.
• When you go to Gulmarg in the winter, you really need warm clothing. Once the sun is gone, it can
• get around -10 / -20 degrees and even with thermal underwear and double layers it gets very
• cold very quickly. When the sun shines during the day, it is not too bad with the cold.

Best time to visit Gulmarg: All year round.

WHEN TO USE A TAXI?

Taxi companies are indispensable in our current society. The social importance of a taxi and that of the associated transport companies should therefore not be underestimated. Although in the Netherlands we have a choice of various forms of Public Transport, more and more people are opting for the convenience of a taxi. But when do you actually use taxi transport? For some people, a taxi is nothing more than an easy means of transportation after an evening out. Some people mainly use a taxi when they need an airport transfer. Either for a vacation or a business trip.

However, taxi transportation can be used for many more other occasions. For some people, a taxi is even an important lifeline. For example for older people who need a ride to the local mall or to the hospital. A major advantage is that this target group is no longer dependent on third parties in the field of transport due to the use of a taxi service. This also takes a bit of independence with it.

Other occasions for booking a taxi

A taxi is no longer just a fancy means of transport. More and more people use the various taxi services that we know today. Either for business or private purposes. Reserving a taxi is possible for the following occasions:

• Directorate transport to and from appointments
• a hospital or doctor's visit
• doing the weekly shopping
• airport transfers

It is not for nothing that good taxi companies in many cases have an impressive list of regular customers at their disposal. Practice shows that once the customer is satisfied with the service offered, it no longer changes as quickly. Service and comfort are therefore characteristics that are of paramount importance when it comes to assessing taxi transport. People also find safety and customer-friendliness increasingly important. In addition, the price-quality ratio for the taxi ride must be in order and the taxi company in question must be in the possession of qualified and experienced drivers. If you love hills here is the best taxi offer for you Udaipur to mount Abu taxi fare in the budget.

What to look for when choosing a taxi service

Consumers attach increasing importance to reliability and professionalism. More and more attention is paid to this when choosing a taxi service. But, it is also important to take other factors into account if you are looking for a reliable and safe taxi service. An example is the license. Taxi companies must be in possession of the required permits issued by the government and the municipality.

The required permit and license

The requirements that are set for these permits can differ. However, the taxi company is checked by the competent authorities. Not only on owning the required papers, but also whether the fleet complies with the services offered. For example, taxis must be suitable for carrying passengers. Safety according to the standards plays a crucial role in this.

A taxi company must also be able to submit the relevant service data for the vehicles. You can think of the service and the maintenance that has been committed. The APK inspections must of course also be in order. Of course the taxi drivers must be in possession of a thorough education and a valid Dutch driver's license. If the taxi company meets all standards and requirements, it will receive a license number. This must be visibly hung in the taxi so that it can serve as verification for the customer.

Note the reviews of the taxi company

Nowadays it is not only possible to order a taxi online, but customers can also leave their feedback about the taxi company in question. These assessments make it a lot easier for you as a customer when it comes to choosing a reliable taxi company. Clients tell about their own experiences with the company in the feedback. So you can always count on an objective assessment.

Value for money

The fare is also an important factor if you are looking for a taxi. The costs for transport must be in proportion to the luxury that you receive and the duration of the route that must be traveled. Professional and reliable taxi companies have therefore always set the fare. This means that you always pay a fixed amount if you need transportation to, for example, the hospital, the shopping center or the airport. Good taxi companies apply a fixed rate, which means that you will not be faced with unpleasant surprises afterwards. You can book from taxi service in udaipur for the best budget.

Use a taxi service for business and private use
A taxi can be used after a pleasant evening out or for business purposes such as a business lunch or meeting. Professional taxi companies always have access to a luxury fleet that meets all the required conditions. Not only in terms of comfort, but certainly also when it comes to safety. More and more people experience the convenience of a taxi. Certainly now that these services can easily be reserved online. Whether for a weekly visit to the hospital or because you want to start your holiday relaxed with an airport transfer.

Travel expert - Dhanvi tour & taxi

My first trip to India in 2006 was a trip to remember. When traveling a little less, it was quite an experience. I landed in the city of Mumbai where my brother and girlfriend were involved in a number of projects. There we went, on the way to their house in two black taxis, me in the rear and my bright red suitcase on the roof of the front taxi. We maneuvered our way through the chaos in the traffic: tuk-tuks from the left, an elephant from the right, sellers with all kinds of goods at our window. Three years ago in Jaipur, I remember the stately forts and palaces next to slums where locals did the laundry with a play of colors of cloths and clothing. Constant stimulation of your senses in scents, colors and the taste of delicious curries. In Goa, there was a completely different atmosphere with its endless palm coasts, golden beaches, and old Portuguese colonial houses. For me, India is a country of extremes with intense travel experiences, both physically and internally.

train, boat or camel and you pass the most intriguing places. We arrange overnight stays in small-scale

Northern India

In the north of India, you will find many highlights of the country. Just think of the famous Taj Mahal,
Varanasi on the holy river the Ganges and the state of Rajasthan with its atmospheric forts and Havelis.
If you stay in the north then you can make a tour that starts in Delhi and also ends in Delhi. The
the advantage is that there are many cheap flights to Delhi, both direct flights and flights with the
transfer.

We find the city of Jaipur the best starting point for your North India trip. This is a great city to be and nicer to start your
journey with than Delhi. You can start with an Easy Going that will take you to Jaipur immediately
upon arrival.

You can then choose the desert province of Rajasthan where the brightly colored clothing contrasts sharply with the pastel-colored landscape. The camels and castles building block will introduce you to the highlights of Rajasthan.

After your Rajasthan experience, or immediately after Jaipur, you can turn right on the way to famous monuments such as the Taj Mahal, which you absolutely should not miss. You can easily travel here with the World Wonder Route building block. To the east of Agra is another phenomenon, the mystical city of Varanasi. It is better not to start with this because it is a city where you will get a lot of intense impressions and it is advisable to swing a little in India before you go here.

Ladakh, Sikkim, and Nepal

A very different side of North India and a bit more off-the-road, you will find in the far north, against the Himalayas. The further north you come here, the more you get the feeling that you have arrived in Tibet or Bhutan. When you travel north from Delhi, the landscape changes rapidly and colorful sarees, holy cows and forts give way to monks in red robes, colorful prayer flags, and monasteries. The provinces of Ladakh and Sikkim can easily be combined with the other building blocks in North India.

Delhi is also an excellent base for a holiday to Nepal. Here you can do short building blocks in the Kathmandu valley or combine them with the rhinos of Chitwan National Park, a flight to Mount Everest or trekking in the mountains. You can then fly back to Delhi.

South India

The north of India already offers so many possibilities that many travelers stick to the north for the first trip. A combination with the south is of course also possible, for example, if you want to end your trip on a nice beach. You can go to Goa, Kerala or all the way to the Maldives. Keep in mind the climate in the period in which you travel.

The south also offers enough options for a complete trip. In addition to relaxed beaches, you will find backwaters in Kerala where you can spend the night on a houseboat, jungle where you can spot all kinds of animals, tea plantations and the most beautiful temples. You can end your trip in a relaxed manner with an Ayurvedic massage in Kovalam. The south shows us a completely different side of India, where you can combine culture and nature very well.

Transport in India

Our tours are individual. If you go to India with us, you mainly travel by car with a private driver.
In a hectic country like India, it is nice that the transportation is arranged in advance and your trusted
driver will come and pick you up and take you everywhere. So you have the convenience of
pre-arranged transportation, but you also have the freedom to stop en route where you want to eat,
drink or go to the toilet. Our drivers are reliable and have a safe driving style.

You can take a day train on a few routes. Nice to see India from the rails instead of the road. For
longer distances, we recommend that you take a domestic flight or a (night) train. The train is a nice
change during the trip. We think it's a nice way to get in touch with the Indians. Read more about

number that is available 24 hours a day.
