Like to know what it feels to be at the top of the world? Then you should definitely check out the Gondola Ride of Gulmarg. It is the second highest in the world and it\u2019s a ride worth taking. It places you at a very small valley called Khilanmarg from which you can see almost all of the Great Snow-capped Mountains likes the Nanga Parbat & Nun Kun.<\/p>\n Photo Credits : Alpine Adventures<\/a><\/p>\n Also Read :<\/strong><\/p>\n Apharwat Peak is the highest summit situated there. The second phase of the Gondola Ride from Gulmarg takes you to this place. The LOC is just a few kilometres away from this spot. It is covered by snow for almost all year. So, even if you don\u2019t find snow anywhere, the Apharwat Peak will never get your hopes down.<\/p>\n Now, after reaching the high altitudes and exploring them, the next question which arises is how to get down? Would it be as exciting as the ascent was or would it be just a normal downright boring trip. Well, it will definitely not be boring if you take a Sledge on your way back. You can actually feel the rush breezing through your veins if you take this ride, that\u2019s guaranteed.<\/p>\n Photo Credits Shabir Mirza<\/a><\/p>\n Although you can visit many areas alongside the region by trekking itself but going upon a pony would definitely be an experience lost if you ignore it.<\/p>\n Also Read:<\/strong><\/p>\n If you are visiting it during Summer or Spring, then you are sure to get your eyes mesmerised by it.
