About Snowboarding in Gulmarg

Why Gulmarg for Snowboarding?

Gulmarg is one of the best destinations for snowboarding in Asia. The combination of consistent snowfall, high altitude and varied terrain — from gentle beginner slopes to steep ungroomed powder fields — makes it ideal for riders at every level. The season runs from mid-December to the first week of April, with January and February providing the deepest snow.

Adventure Packers offers snowboarding courses in the same 3, 5, 7 and 10-day formats as our ski courses, taught one on one by a private instructor who specialises in board technique. Board, boots, snow wear and safety gear are included in every course.

What is included in a snowboarding course?
