The Tangmarg Changeover (Winter Rules)

If you are traveling to Gulmarg between **December and February**, there is a critical rule you must know. Due to heavy snowfall and black ice on the steep 12km stretch between Tangmarg and Gulmarg, regular vehicles cannot climb the mountain.

  • Snow Chains Required: Vehicles without chained tires are strictly stopped by the police at Tangmarg.
  • Vehicle Changeover: Your regular Srinagar taxi will drop you at Tangmarg. From there, you must hire a local Tangmarg union 4x4 (like a chained Sumo) to safely reach your Gulmarg hotel.
  • Our Service: We assist in arranging these specialized chained vehicles so you don't face any hassle during the changeover.

Places to See En-Route

When booking a day trip, you can ask your driver to stop at:

  • Apple Orchards: Stop near Magam to purchase fresh Kashmiri apples (in autumn).
  • Tangmarg Market: The perfect place to rent snow boots and heavy jackets before heading up.
  • Baba Reshi Shrine: A beautiful historical shrine located just slightly off the main route.
