Gulmarg Ski Packages Are Very Popular

By Krystal Branch


So you've gone on holiday, you've taken time off work, booked your Gulmarg ski packages and you're off to hit the slopes. Maybe it's been a while though and you're still rusty, the last thing you need is a sprained joint or a broken bone. A refresher course is never out of the question in such circumstances, here are some tips to help you get skiing fit again or even to help those newbie skiers who have tried it before.

First off you should make an effort to get fit before you go on your holiday. Skiing is of course a massive cardio workout and puts a lot of strain on your arms and your legs. Strengthening your body in these regards will go a long way to helping you out when you actually get to hit the slopes, many such exercises to help out with this can be found on the internet or even at the ski resorts themselves.

Historically used as a resort for the kings of old and has over the years been used as an escape for royalty, elites and those that can afford it. The area is a tranquil summer retreat and a popular skiing destination during the winter times when heavy snowfall hits the region. The name of the area translates to "meadow of flowers".

The town is accessible by car or bus from Srinagar Airport at a drive of about two hours. There are somewhere in the region of about 40 hotels in the town. These range from low end budget accommodation to higher end 5-star hotels which are more akin to a bed and breakfast style than that of a hotel.

The place is considered the home of Indian winter sports and is rated as Asia's seventh highest rated ski destination. What makes the site unique is the special Gondola, which is one of the highest cable cars in the world. This cable car is able to move around 600 people an hour up and down the mountain.

Much of the ski slopes are still undeveloped which actually works to the benefits of most skiers. This underdevelopment means that there are very few predetermined ski routes. This means that more advanced skiers can blaze their own trail down the mountain leaving newbies to take their own time on the beaten paths.

Don't push yourself harder than you need to. Knowing when to back off is the key to being a good skier. When you're tired the chances of you making a dangerous mistake are greatly increased and that is something you should really watch out for.

Now you have everything you need to know to make the most out of your Gulmarg ski packages. Following these simple guidelines will help to streamline your skiing holiday experience and ensure that you keep fit and healthy during your time on the slopes. If it doesn't came back you naturally at first then never fear, practice makes perfect.
