Kongdoori Phase 1 - Mountain cable car in Gulmarg, Forest Block - Baramulla, India

It's excellent things to explore for any tourist. Worth to spend money. We need to book tickets online. There will be lots of crowed. Need to spend to One-Day here itself. Lots of snow related activities are there with trained people. We no need to worry about the risk, they will take care. Better to take heavy clothes to face high snow. Keep local guide and they will guide the whole trip. We hired one guide Imran Khan he is wonderful person.

When we went in the October this place offered a majestic view. There was hardly any snow near the Gondola so we walked about half KM and entered the snowy area. There will be many folks who offers horse ride to few places but better to avoid it and walk a bit and enjoy the scenic beauty of the place.

We visited this place in Aug so there was no snow. Naturally it was off season and there were no queues so we booked tickets online. Important tip is to book online only since there is no way to book it on the location. There are many local touts who will tell you otherwise but don't believe them. We couldn't go to second phase as it was closed for maintenance. There is a restaurant at the top but the food is nothing special. There are pony rides which we skipped. Overall this place can be skipped in summers since there is no snow and quite commercialized. There are beautiful and virigin places in Kashmir which are much better than this.

I sincerely request everyone not to do side scenes with any local person or agents, they behave very badly, use a lot of force, they do not want to leave you under any circumstances, we 10 people local The agents had quoted 1800 per person side scene by mule, 1000 per person side scene by car, they will also be ready to take you for 400/500 per person, it is only a 7 km ride, 5000 for 1 to 2 hours. Demands Rs 9000. But, you should take only ropeway ticket and do side scenes, do not fall into the trap of any local person. You behave very badly with the local people. Thank you. I have visited Gulmarg on 23/11/2023 with 10 people.

We visited this phase 1 in 3rd week of november and find enough snow . Wheather was awsome. Enjoyed a lot in sledging and ski trial. Advance Online booking of gandola ride is highly advisable for both phase. It can be done online in advance about 20 days before. Worth visiting.

It's a heaven and not more to say as it's beyond words. Phase 1 needs cable car facility and pre booking through online portal is available. Each person needs Rs800 to enter to cable car. One can also take a horse or even can walk up to there.

The place abounds with natural beauty which is now ruined by hawker shanties, crowd and cable car towers. Your experience is made worse when at the taxi stand the local cab union guys or horse rise guys fleece you and extract four times the amount in the name of covering multiple points like golf course, church etc which are little stops on the way. The terminal of phase one is littered with plastic trash and infested by the next set of touts and scamsters. Its high time the government takes charge and rescues these beautiful places from cab/horse sharks. There has to be a fixed rate govt taxi stand.

Place is beautiful but spoiled by illicit guides and businessmen. It is operating at a capacity of more than it can have. There were long queues for entering phase one, entering phase 2, exit of phase 2 and exit of phase 1. We have to wait for 1 hour in phase 1 to get a cable car to exit
