No, it’s not a resort. This is Gondola house, starting point for Gondola ride Everywhere you can see snow only This one is official rate card But in off season, rates are lesser It’s going to be very adventurous Gondola ride Let’s Go We have bought two different tickets One for Phase 1 for Rs 740 (around $10) Another for Phase 2 for Rs 950 (around $13) There’s no rush at all becuase of off season But, this is actually Best season to visit French company Pomagalski, which is also know as POMA POMA has constructed Gulmarg Gondola Our Gondola is here Let’s go Particular thing about Gondola isit does not stop So you have to board it while it’s in a motion There are two phasesof Gulmarg Gondola Phase 1 –
Gondola house to Kongdori Phase 2 – Kongdori to Apharat Peak We have reached Phase 1 We have to change Gondola for Phase 2 journey I suggest, once you reach Phase 1immediately, proceed to Phase 2 As Phase 2 Gondola operates for less time As soon as we entered phase 1 There’s this instruction which talks about Low oxygen levels at top Generally,
Oxygen level at sea level is 21% At Phase 2, Oxygen will be around 12% We are now on our way to Phase 2 To the left, you are seeing restaurants at Phase 1 To the right, those are chair liftsfor professional skiers Ohh God !What a beauty Professional skiers ski from this height over dangerous slopes Daredevils these skiers are ! We are reaching at Phase 2 now Phase 2 is at around 14000 feet,which is nearly half of Mount Everest height Mount Everest is 29000 feet Temperature right now is 0 or -1°C (32ºF) You can feel less oxygen in air while breathing Slight snowfall happening outside We are wrapping our ride here Gondola has to be closed because of inclement weather See you That’s a crazy slide It’s so tiring here for common man from Mumbai Gulmarg
Phase 2 is one of the World’s best skiing place Lot of foreign nationals come here to ski If you are interested in any advanced skiing or snowboarding Please contact Mir Mir’s cellular number is mentioned in description He is Mir.. snowboarding.. Ohhh brother.. superb braking ! After experiencing pro skiing,we are heading back to Phase 1 These are the same slopes where pro skiers ski We have reached Phase 1 There are few restaurants on Phase 1where you can have snacks I am skiing here Just now,
we have heard announcement stating Gondola is about to be closed We are rushing back to board Gondola This so beautiful I don’t wish to leave from here But, I have to go Today’s Gondola ride was fantastic We enjoyed a lot Will rush a bit now because we are going to an offbeat location where hardly any tourist go Board.. board.. board.. In return journey, We found this huge ice formation just before Tanmarg We clicked lot of pictures here Can you believe.. this has been formed due to leaked water pipe ?
