Gulmarg Golf Course – A Popular Golfing Destination
One among the largest and highest 18-hole golf courses in India, the Gulmarg Golf Course is situated on the lower ranges of Gulmarg. Though golfing began in this region as early as the early 1920s, the present-day structure designed by Ranjit Nanda – a well-known golf course designer – was inaugurated only in 2011 by Omar Abdullah, the then Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir. Gulmarg has slowly emerged as one of the most popular places to visit in Gulmarg and a popular golfing destination in India.

Baba Reshi
Built in 1480, the Shrine of Baba Reshi is one of the religious places to visit in and around Gulmarg. It is accessible by a motorable road from the main Gulmarg Valley and your Gulmarg sightseeing tour won’t be complete without a visit to this holy place. The old Kashmiri architecture of the shrine – latticework on windows, carved deodar pillars, and excellent craftsmanship – of the shrine makes it an absolute wonder. The shrine is dedicated to Baba Reshi, a Muslim scholar & saint who spent his days meditating and praying in the valley.
