Adventure Sports in Kashmir

In winters, when snow carpets the mountains, there is skiing, tobogganing, sledge-riding, etc. along the gentle slopes in Kashmir. In summers and spring, golfing, water-skiing, trekking, fishing and angling can be done in Kashmir.

 

Golf
Kashmir offers a unique opportunity to play golf all through the summer from April to November. Srinagar and Gulmarg are the two places in Kashmir which offer green golf courses. Srinagar has an 18-hole golf course with common fairways, and a par of 70. This course is open throughout the year, unless snowbound in winter. The golf course at Gulmarg is situated at a height of 2,650 meters. It is the highest green golf course in the world. The layout of this golf course is

Golf in Kashmir

strikingly different from other golf courses – the land slopes and inclines along the complete area of the course, which has a par of 72. The golf club first opened its doors in 1904.Since then it has seen over four score years of tournaments of both amateurs and professionals, of men, women and children. The golf set, balls and other golfing equipments are available on rent from the pro-shops at Gulmarg. The layout of both the golf courses, too, will delight the golfers. More...

Trekking
The trekking in Kashmir is very different from the trekking in Nepal. Before the recent disturbances, no special permission was required to visit Kashmir or Ladakh. But today, it is impossible to trek from the Vale of Kashmir, though it is still possible to get into Ladakh. While trekking, you will be moving through the countryside that is used for grazing. Some of the famous trekking points in Kashmir are Kishtawar to Kashmir, Kishtawar to Chamba, Kishtawar to Zanskar, Sindh and Lidder valleys, Lidder to Sindh valley trek via the Yemhar Pass, Sonamarg to Haramukh and Kashmir to Ladakh. Sonamarg also offers various trekking and hiking trails, which attract the adventure lovers. The adventure seekers may opt for trekking trails from Sonamarg to lakes of Vishansar, Krishansar and Gangabal. In particular, trekking trips into the mountains should be undertaken only after consulting the Tourist Office at Srinagar or Sonamarg for safety and feasibility. The environment in Pahalgam offers various trekking opportunities. The best time to take the trekking in Pahalgam is from April to June. Trekking in the high altitude area of Himalayas is not without hazards and must be done in the company of trained guides. One of the best known trekking route is from Pahalgam to Amarnath which covers Chandanwari, Sheshnag and Panchtarni. Tents and pack ponies can also be hired in Pahalgam for a trek to the 11,800 feet high Kolahoi Glacier. The trek can be done in three days. On the way to Kolahoi glacier, you can also share your camping grounds with nomadic Bakarwals. The Bakarwals are the shepherds who move into higher grounds to let their sheep, goats and buffaloes graze. The men are tall, sturdy and handsome. Their women plait their hair into hundreds of tiny braids. They move with families, children tied on the back of ponies with pots and pans. On the way to the glacier is a beautiful resting spot, known as Lidderwat. Lidderwat is a beautiful camping site set among dense forests. Although the sun shines brightly here, yet the tall encircling pines keep the shades very dark. After moving from Lidderwat, you will reach at the Kalahoi glacier. This is the great frozen river that stands motionless. And, if you drink a little bit of the melted water, you feel great relief.

Skiing
Skiing is one of the major attractions for the adventure loving tourists. Skiing is done on open slope, off trail through the pine forests. Gulmarg is the best ski resort in the Himalayas. Gulmarg is the main place for all the ski lovers, with good snow conditions from December to March. It is the only ski resort which offers a magnificent view of the Karokaram, K2, Nanga Parbat and Nunkun. Gulmarg's atmosphere can be identified with the 1940 and 1950's European skiing - the Alps of good old days. It has good sunshine and snow. Heliskiing is also possible at Gulmarg. Modern facilities such as T bars, ski lifts, chair cable cars and ropeways are also available in Gulmarg.
