Srinagar to Gulmarg Taxi Road Trip
The journey from Srinagar to Gulmarg follows a well-established mountain route via Tangmarg, the last major town before Gulmarg.
- Distance: Approximately 51 km.
- Travel Time: 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on traffic and seasonal snow conditions.
- The Route: You will pass through the urban outskirts of Bemina, the apple orchards of Magam and finally reach the gateway of the mountains Tangmarg.
- Road Conditions: The highway is well-paved up to Tangmarg. The final 13 km ascent to Gulmarg is steep and involves sharp hairpins that require an experienced local driver.
The drive takes you through Tangmarg town before ascending to Gulmarg at 8,694 feet. Roads are well-maintained from May to October. Winter months (November–April) may require 4×4 vehicles due to snow accumulation near Gulmarg base.
Your driver will coordinate halt stops at scenic viewpoints like Habba khatoon peak on Tangmarg to Gulmarg road or chai breaks in Tangmarg if requested.
Important: Winter Travel & Snow Chains
From December to March, the road from Tangmarg to Gulmarg becomes heavily snow-covered.
- Mandatory Snow Chains: Standard vehicles cannot climb beyond Tangmarg without specialized snow chains.
- Transfer Points: If your taxi is not equipped with chains, you may need a 4×4 jeep transfer at Tangmarg. Our premium SUV bookings include chain-equipped vehicles to ensure you reach your hotel in Gulmarg directly without shifting luggage.
