Although it does not snow continuously, the region receives enough to make it one of the best places in India to experience snowfall.

To capture views- During the months of January and February, the meadows, peaks, and even pine and fir trees are blanketed in white snow. The Gulmarg gondola is the best way to reach Apharwat Mountain and enjoy views of the Nanga Parbat and Harmukh ranges.

High Altitude- The cable car ride begins at an altitude of 2,600 meters (8,500 feet) and continues for 5 kilometers in three phases, reaching a maximum height of 3,950 meters (12,960 feet) at Mary's Shoulder in the Apharwat range.
