One of the major attractions is the Gulmarg golf course which is the most elevated in the world.
- Explore the lesser known destinations

In Kashmir there are several small towns that are heavenly beautiful but don’t have heavy visitor traffic, Patnitop is one of them. Adventure seekers could also visit Doodganga and Neelnag which are rarely reached due to their aloof location but an exciting place to stay.
- Accept challenge to trek the Frozen Zanskar river
I bet you, regardless how many treks you have covered in your past and experience gathered through those rugged trails, this trekking experience is the toughest you would face. The ‘Chadar trek’ in Ladakh is evolved after the Zanskar river get completely freeze in winter. Walking on white slippery ice is dangerous yet exciting and thrilling.
