Yes. Was it fun? Definitely. I know I was a little scared about our planning at that time due to the sudden change in the weather.

The intensity of the snowfall increased the night and it continued to snow all night long. The temperature dropped drastically and it was freezing all around.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I woke up a few times in the night and could hear the high-speed winds outside. To some extent, it was even a little bit scary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There were three heaters working in the room all night. Even then, we were sleeping with our jackets on and had to cover ourselves with three blankets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There was one large heater installed in a corner of the room. The second one was a small blower. The third and the most helpful one was installed in the bed itself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That&#8217;s correct, you read it right. This heater would warm up the mattresses and probably was the most helpful one of the three.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After a cold but comfortable night, I was again the first one to wake up in the morning. Once again, the same routine followed as yesterday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I called the hotel kitchen and they told me there won&#8217;t be anything available until 8 AM. So I packed and wrapped myself well and stepped out of the hotel to have a cup of tea at Sohail&#8217;s restaurant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15246 size-full\" title=\"Snowfall in Gulmarg\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-1.jpg\" alt=\"Snowfall in Gulmarg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-1-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-1-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-2.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15247 size-full\" title=\"Snowfall in Gulmarg\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-2.jpg\" alt=\"Snowfall in Gulmarg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-2-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-2-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-3.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15248 size-full\" title=\"Snowfall in Gulmarg\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-3.jpg\" alt=\"Snowfall in Gulmarg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-3-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-3-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-4.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15249 size-full\" title=\"Snowfall in Gulmarg\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-4.jpg\" alt=\"Snowfall in Gulmarg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-4-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-4-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was still snowing out there and this morning was an even colder one than yesterday. Everything was covered under a fresh sheet of snow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In some places, I had to navigate my way through knee-deep snow.

My plan for today was to go for a Gondola ride. But seeing how the weather turned overnight, I wasn&#8217;t sure if the Gondola was even going to remain operational today.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I asked Sohail and he advised me against going for the ride. Not because it was dangerous or anything but would be a waste of money.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The weather was really bad and it was foggy all around. Riding the Gondola in this weather would have meant just sitting in a glass cabin and going up and down for Rs. 1600 per person; without being able to see anything.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second logic that Sohail gave was that we were just going to find snow up there, which was down in Gulmarg as well in plenty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If we went for the Gondola ride, then we would just ride up to the station and come back down. We surely won&#8217;t be able to step out and explore because everything was under several feet of snow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There was no way of knowing where I may step which made it a bit dangerous as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So I agreed with Sohail and gave up the idea of a Gondola ride. This made me wonder what we were going to do all day today in this weather.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/how-to-plan-a-trip-to-kashmir-a-complete-travel-guide\/\">How to Plan a Trip to Kashmir \u2013 A Complete Travel Guide<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hotel_Royal_Park\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Hotel Royal Park<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The biggest mistake I made was that I did not notify anyone in Hotel Affarwat that we were going to extend our stay by a day. After chatting with Sohail, I came back to our hotel and woke up my cousin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The manager at the reception casually asked me where I was headed today and I told him nowhere. He replied that they were under the assumption that I would check out today and had taken other bookings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This meant that I would have to check out of Hotel Affarwat while the snowfall in Gulmarg was still on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This kind of disappointed me a lot and I asked the manager to manage my stay somehow. They were however completely occupied for the day and could not accommodate me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He however did not let this become trouble for me and asked me to shift to another hotel nearby by the name of Hotel Royal Park. But before I did that, I stepped out and checked out a few other hotels myself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mountain View, Gulmarg Inn, and Welcome Hotel were the three I checked at but did not like either of them. Finally, I went and checked the rooms at Royal Park and they looked good enough.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_of_Hotels\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Change of Hotels<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The manager at Hotel Affarwat made a call to the manager at Royal Park. I got the room for the same price that I would have paid at Affarwat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He also had a couple of his men bring our luggage so all that we had to do was walk a few hundred meters and go into another room.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I really liked this about the guys at Hotel Affarwat. Even though they could not extend my stay, they still got me another good hotel at the same price, shifted my luggage, and ensured that the move was of minimal hassle to me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hotel Royal Park was just 5 minutes walk away. What I liked about this hotel however was that it was at a slightly greater height and provided a better view of Gulmarg town.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-7.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15251 size-full\" title=\"hotel royal park gulmarg\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-7.jpg\" alt=\"hotel royal park gulmarg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-7.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-7-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-7-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-8.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15252 size-full\" title=\"hotel royal park gulmarg\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-8.jpg\" alt=\"hotel royal park gulmarg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-8.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-8-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-8-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-8-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-8-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Walking_Around_in_Gulmarg\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Walking Around in Gulmarg<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It continued to snow until noon and the intensity increased even more.

I was wearing Provogue Boots and they served the purpose well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">My cousin on the other hand was wearing normal Puma Sports shoes which did not last even 2 days there.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Elfy_to_the_Rescue\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Elfy to the Rescue<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our original plan was to rent boots in Gulmarg but seeing that our shoes were doing fine until now, we chose to forget about renting boots. But on the third day, my cousin&#8217;s shoes could not take the snow and wetness anymore and the soles of both shoes came off.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was just the sole that came off but the rest of the shoe was fine. There was no shoe repair guy available in the entire Gulmarg so we just had one choice. Buy glue, like Feviquick, and make it work for the next two days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We asked around at a few shops. Feviquick wasn&#8217;t available anywhere but we did find a similar glue called Elfy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We returned to our hotel and the first task was to glue the soles of my cousin&#8217;s shoes back. Fortunately, it worked and we did manage to put the soles back in place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once that was done, we spent the rest of the day mostly watching TV. It stopped snowing towards late afternoon again and we decided to build ourselves an ugly and scary snowman.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-14.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15260 size-full\" title=\"snowfall in gulmarg\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-14.jpg\" alt=\"snowfall in gulmarg\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-14.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-14-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-14-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-14-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/snowfall-in-gulmarg-14-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"End_of_Day_3\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>End of Day 3<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And that&#8217;s pretty much all that happened on this particular day. We had dinner at the hotel itself, watched TV, and went to sleep. By evening, it was snowing again and kept getting more intense with each passing hour.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tomorrow, we were going to check out of Royal Park and reach Srinagar by noon. My preferred hotel in Srinagar is always Grand Valley Inn and that is where we were going to stay this time as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I called the owner to let him know that I will be arriving in Srinagar tomorrow. He in the turn told me that the hotel was closed due to renovation work but agreed to open one room for our stay.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With that arrangement done, we both went back to sleep. This was our last night in Gulmarg which kind of made me a little sad really.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Journey Ahead: <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/winter-trip-to-gulmarg\/\">Day 4 &#8211; A Taste of Winter in Gulmarg<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even though we did not do much today and stayed indoors for the most part of the day, I really hoped that we could stay for one more day and enjoy the snowy views.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Little did I know that my wish was going to come true the next day.
