Cross your fingers as Jammu and Kashmir government is planning to revive Heliskiing in Gulmarg. Well, at least thus as stated the Tourism Minister Nawang Rigzin Jora.

The government cannot do this directly, and is in talks with some “organizations” – presumably companies who have experience in this field. In July, the Ministers had held discussions with a renowned French heli skiing expert Mr. Sylvain Saudan.

Heliskiing comprises of being dropped by a helicopter on the summit of a high, snow-covered peak and then skiing down the slopes. Al ready some private companies are offering to take people on heliskiing trips to Gulmarg, using private helicopter and private helipad.
