2. Gulmarg, Jammu & Kashmir
Let’s not get cold fade away in the second month of the year either. Pack straight for bone-chilling cold and head to this frosty location of Gulmarg in Jammu and Kashmir. Since, this is your last chance to enjoy the snow (Yes, it snows in Gulmarg in February, too), you better bring all your sports gear (and A game) for skiing, snowballing, snowboarding, and other snow-related plays. And, those who don’t know how to ski, worry not, because here are experts who would guide you on that. Moreover, here is a special ski school (Indian Institute of Skiing and Mountaineering) where you can find related courses at the value of money deals. And, those who like to have a little less crowd around them would love Gulmarg over its contemporaries Shimla and Manali. Calm, quiet and yet so much fun, is the essentially the key vibe of this place. Further, after you get a tad bit tired of trekking and playing in the snow, sit back and bask in the beauty of alpine forests and the snow-covered Himalayas from a bird’s eye view with Gulmarg Gondola. It is a cable car, world’s second highest, that takes you up the hills. Ticket to ‘fun unlimited’, really!
