Wooden Sledge Rides in Kashmir
Season: WINTER (December – March)
(Operates when snow cover is sufficient and safe)
Overview
Wooden sledge rides, locally known simply as sledging, are a classic winter experience in Kashmir. Using traditional wooden sledges, riders descend snow-covered slopes in scenic winter landscapes. This activity is popular with families, couples, and visitors looking for a fun snow experience without technical skills.
Gulmarg (Primary Location)
Sledge rides are widely available across snow-covered slopes in the Gulmarg winter region.
Common areas include slopes near Kongdori (Phase 1) and around the main meadow areas, where sledges glide over natural winter snowfields.
Rides can vary in length and terrain — from short, gentle descents to longer runs down broader snowy slopes.
Sledging is a major winter attraction and contributes to local winter tourism.
Sonamarg
When snow cover is good in Sonamarg’s valley floors or hillside trails, sledging opportunities arise similar to Gulmarg’s winter runs.
Important Notes
Sledging operates only in winter when there is sustained snow cover.
Conditions vary daily with snowfall and temperature; safety is tied to snow quality and slope terrain.
Natural terrain means surface conditions are not controlled or groomed; visitors should be informed of local conditions before participating.
