All is bhel in Gulmarg!
Up in heavenly Kashmir, bang in the middle of winter, it’s a common sight to see vendors plying sleds, teaching skiing and renting out sleek snowmobiles along the route of the famous Gulmarg Gondola cable car ride which is situated right next to the uber-luxurious Khyber Himalayan Resort & Spa.
