First Skiing Holiday, WORLD BEST Ski Company, BRILLIANT Instructors!!! This was my first skiing holiday and booked for 4 days of ski school with Nayeem who owns The Gulmarg Ski. They arranged for pickup and drop from the Srinagar airport, and also helped us in getting reasonable room rates (the rates were much higher online) with Grand Mumtaz. From when we first went into the shop, we found Nayeem to be helpful in choosing boots, skis and other equipment. Nayeem also arranged for a space in the shop for us to keep our equipments post ski (which was not the case with other ski enthusiasts in Gulmarg), this was a big relief as you do not have to commute back and forth to your hotel with the equipments. I found Nayeem and his team to be excellent. They were patient, and explained where we were going and what we would be doing and catered for all of us whom were at different levels. He really made a huge difference to our experience of ski school and we learnt so much. I ended up extending my trip. From Day 1, not being able to link turn my way down a baby training slope, to Day 4 where I was boarding down plase 1 multiple times. From spending most of Day 1 and 2 on my bum, frustratingly, by Day 4 I was able to board properly, on piste, off piste and even do basic freestyle moves. All of this was thanks to one great instructor, Nayeem Khan. Not only was he very talented, but he was patient, enthusiastic and a top guy!! I can't thank him enough and I would recommend him to everyone, whatever your ability, as he will make you improve and you will have a laugh for sure! It's thanks to Nayeem and The Gulmarg Ski that I am now addicted and can't wait to do skiing next year!!

Excellent 2.5-day trip organized by Gulmarg Ski for my wife and I in December (after first snow). We had a pickup from Srinagar airport by the team (Nayeem and Nadeem), then went to Stream restaurant for local Kashmiri lunch before a sikara ride on Lake Dal. We then headed to Gulmarg where, on the way, we had some time to do shopping for some Kashmiri shawls. We checked-in to Kalahoi hotel and everything was perfect with good heating, clean rooms, included dinner& breakfast, wifi. 1st day we did the 2 phases of Gondola which was booked with the help of Nayeem in advance as it fills up fast. Phase 1 area we did snow mobile and had some quick local snacks, each time Nayeem was there to ensure we got the right deals. 2nd day, we went for a half-day ski lessons complete with gear, transport and instructor (none other than the best Nayeem of course), followed by lunch at a nice local restaurant. All in all excellent trip, and I highly recommend foreign visitors to book with Gulmarg Ski. Gulmarg is beautiful, snowy mountains, rolling hills, incredible atmosphere. We hoped we had more time to explore the other beautiful places in Kashmir. Perhaps the next time! Actually, we were a little nervous before arriving as we heard there would be issues of scams, inability to book rides and tickets using international cards, unable to use international sim cards, language issues... Thankfully we had Nayeem & team's help at GulmargSki and they made us feel right at home doubling as the local guide at every step, making sure we go to the right places/people and ensuring we feel comfortable at all times. A massive shout-out to the team.

Solo trip!!! Wanna master gliding on snow, exploring the magnificent mountain/skiing/snowboarding!! Having been planning this trip for quite a long time, Nayeem was a great help in making it possible. He had been following up for almost a year since I showed my interest in Skiing. Whether, you are traveling solo or in a group he is the right Person... For all the guidance and support you need.. a very warm and welcoming human being... And now a good friend. Nayeem is a professional ski and snowboard trainer, very passionate and excellent at it. He has a very brilliant and aware network or team of instructors, one of whom he arranged for me was Mr. Major, very patient, guided me according to my capabilities and what more I could do. Motivating me at every stage of my little journey of basic level, building the initial relationship flow and control with the ski, ski boots, shins, managing falls and traversing through snow.... Apart from being a professional trainer Nayeem helped organise the entire trip to gulmarg, according to my budget and comfort... Be it from pickup and drop to stay, skiing, and also catering or guiding my impromptu explorations around the place.... Through him was able to meet a bunch of interesting people be it the locals and other travellers... And of course now looking at taking my journey forward with Skiing... Thanks to Nayeem.

Overall - My ski trip to Gulmarg couldn't have been better! I couldn't have asked for a better instructor (Nayeem), a happier or more satisfying experience. I would recommend everyone reading this to book your ticket right away and get in touch with Nayeem — you will not be disappointed! Background - I was quite sceptical of the idea to go to Gulmarg and learn a new sport. I've never shined in any sport as such, and the thought of negative tempratures scared the living soul out of me. But after spending all of 2020 working at home, I really needed a break and jumped on the opportunity to go to Gulmarg and learn how to ski. Experience - From the first time I wore a ski, Nayeem patiently guided me and ensured my technique was up to mark. Instead of using the same technique with all students, he keenly works on his students strength. His teaching style is such that one is able to pick the sport without feeling overwhelmed or scared, rather you'll garanteed have a gala time on the slopes! Final demonstrateable endorsement - Within 4 days I was able to ski confidently and independently on Phase 1 slopes. This was the best part of my whole trip! Its a surreal feeling - a feeling that I will go chasing back to Gulmarg whenever I can. :)

It's finally snowed in Kashmir! But when my son and I went to Gulmarg from Goa, December 30th to Jan 4th, for a ski trip to celebrate my son's 18th birthday, there wasn't any snow in sight (unless you count the few patches of white in a sea of brown landscape). Mr. Nayeem Khan however, with whom we had booked a 4 day ski package well in advance, didn't let the lack of snow in Gulmarg ruin my son's 18th birthday! He made sure to find a way. He took special permissions from the army to allow us and a couple of others to ski across the Gulmarg border in an army protected area called Bothapatri when fortunately there was enough snow for beginners like us to learn to ski! He even organised a mini birthday party in the snow :) ! I thank him from the bottom of my heart for all the coordinating, planning, guiding and organising he did apart from being a superb ski instructor to make our dream come true!!!

Memories of a lifetime! It was my first visit to Kashmir and i booked last minute so didn't have a lot of time to research either. I connected with Naeem through a mutual friend, and this guy was a saviour. He handled everything from reaching Srinagar till my return including Hotel, Transport, Ski etc. Ski instructors provided were great and we go to learn really fast in a short time. Everything was handled in a very timely manner and with great quality. Eventually, this trip ended up a very special memory for me and my wife. PS: Will definitely go back to Gulmarg.
