Gulmarg by road is perfect for bikers and adventure seekers. Just 57 kilometers from Srinagar this route won't take you more than 2-3 hours. Even though the minimum it takes is just 1-2 hours, it's better to keep 1 hour as a buffer to navigate the winding mountain roads. It is recommended that you update your car with specially equipped tires to drive in this region.

 

Buses to Gulmarg are also available from Srinagar and other towns in the vicinity. You can take the regular bus on a budget but if you want something more luxurious then go for the deluxe bus operated by both government and private companies.
