Description: Gulmarg Gondola is the top attraction in Gulmarg Asia's largest and tallest and the world's second-largest and second tallest cable car project.

The beautiful views of the mountains and valley during the cable car ride are also unforgettable and unmatched. The Dagu Glacier is also included in the Gondola route. The two-stage Gondola cable car brings about 600 people per hour up to Kongduri Mountain, close to the nearby Apharwat peak at 4,260 metres high. 

In the first stage, tourists transfer from Gulmarg Resort at 2,650 meters at Kongdori Station. The second stage of the ropeway, consisting of 36 cabins and 18 towers, takes skiers to an altitude of 3,980 meters on Kongduri Mountain. It was opened to the citizens on 28 May 2005. Normally the Gondola timings are from 10 am to 5 pm. One Gondola can carry six people at a time.
