| GolfCourses | | |
| Gulmarg also has one of the world's highest green golf courses, as well as a clubhouse, which is a historical building in its own right. For the would-be golfer, there are golf sets on hire, pros to instruct one in the game, and temporary memberships. Naturally, these facilities are available to players as well, except that serious golfers usually carry their sets along. If you are planning a vacation in Kashmir you will be able to purchase a temporary membership to the golf club which will allow you to play as long as you like. This temporary membership also allows you to use the clubhouse and restaurant. If you did not bring your own clubs they can be rented at the pro- shop which is located there. There are also trainers available if you are a novice and wish to learn more. |  | | | |

| Alapathar Lake | | |
| 8Beyond Khilanmarg, 13-km from Gulmarg at the foot of the twin 4, 511 metre Apharwat peaks, this lake is frozen until mid-June and even later in the year one can see lumps of ice floating in its cold waters. The walk from Gulmarg follows a well-graded Pony track over the 3, 810 metre Apharwat ridge, separating it from Khilanmarg, and then up the valley to the lake at 3,843 metres. The more adventurous trekkers can climb straight up the boulder-strewn slope of the ridge and descend the other side to the path. For horse riding aficionados, Alpather Lake makes an exciting day's excursion, starting early morning and returning late evening. |
