Gulmarg, 28, February 2026- Gulmarg is steadily rising as a hub for winter sports, fueled by modern infrastructure and local talent. The 726-meter ski drag lift at Kongdori, the longest in Asia, stands as a symbol of progress, ambition, and belief in the region’s young athletes.
Officials said the facility is transforming the way winter sports are practiced in the Union Territory. Young athletes now have access to world-class training facilities, enabling them to prepare for national and international championships. This development is providing meaningful opportunities for youth, replacing uncertainty with structured skill-building and competitive exposure.
The Kongdori ski lift not only enhances Gulmarg’s reputation as a premier winter sports destination but also reflects the government’s focus on promoting tourism, adventure sports, and local talent development. Experts believe that investments in infrastructure and athlete training will put Jammu & Kashmir firmly on India’s winter sports map.
