Step into a biodiverse haven

The Gulmarg biosphere is a vibrant tapestry of flora and fauna thriving in an enchanting and vital sanctuary. This remarkable site is home to some of the rarest and most endangered species of plants and animals, and it serves as a crucial guardian. As you wander through the reserve, you’ll be enveloped by lush, verdant forests where towering conifers dominate the scenery– from the magnificent Cedrus Deodara to the graceful Abies Pindrow.

But the beauty of this haven doesn’t end with the towering trees. Gulmarg Biosphere Reserve is also home to some of the world's most captivating and endangered wildlife. As you wander through its lush valleys, you may catch a glimpse of the graceful Hangul deer roaming freely among the towering pines or the elusive Musk Deer making fleeting appearances. This biosphere reserve is also home to the majestic Serow, powerful Brown Bears, and even the elusive Leopards and Black Bears, each adding to the mystical allure of the region.

If you take a look at the skies above the biosphere reserve, you may witness the vibrant colours of a variety of birds. From the stunning Crimson Tagopan to the striking European Hoopoe fluttering about and filling the air with its calls, it’s a celebration of the natural world's beauty and diversity!
