The Gulmarg Gondola is run by the J&K Cable Car Corporation (JKCCC). Book online on jammukashmircablecar.com in the traveller's own ID, which is checked at the gate. The booking window opens weeks ahead and peak dates sell out; a next-day Tatkal quota is released online at 5 pm. Phase 1 goes to Kongdoori; Phase 2 continues towards Apharwat and can pause in wind.
Step by step
1. Fix your Gulmarg date. 2. Go to the official JKCCC site. 3. Choose Phase 1 or Phase 1 + 2 and a slot. 4. Enter each traveller's ID details exactly. 5. Pay online and save the ticket. 6. Carry the same ID on the day.
Phase 1 vs Phase 2
Phase 1 (to Kongdoori) suits most families; Phase 2 is higher, colder and weather-dependent.
If it's sold out
Try the next-day Tatkal release at 5 pm, or plan a meadow day: St Mary's Church, the golf-course walk, Khilanmarg by pony in summer. Some on-the-spot tickets have been issued in peak rush in past seasons.
Fares
Fares are set by JKCCC and change; published figures differ by source. Check the official site and we'll confirm in your quote.
