As the name suggests, Gulmarg offers a wonderful sight of grassy slopes filled with flowers. The word “Gulmarg”, literally meaning “the meadow of flowers” in Hindi,  was coined by Sultan Yusuf Shah. Gulmarg's legendary beauty, prime location and proximity to Gulmarg naturally make it one of Asia's premier hill resorts. Today, Gulmarg is not merely a mountain resort of exceptional beauty but also the country's premier ski resort in winter when it is covered in snow.
