Man and Nature
Upper Gulmarg,situated in the northern Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir at the western extremity of the Himalayas in a subsidiary range called the Pir Panjals. Due to its geographic location Gulmarg gets some of the heaviest snowfalls in the Himalayas and the Phase-2 ( 14000-16000 ft.) of Gulmarg where this image was taken from is also the best ski destination in the Himalayas. You can hike up to the Phase-2 but the high altitude will make it very difficult unless you are used to it so the best alternative is to take the Gondola ride .
