get your priorities crooked
I'm somewhat interested in heading over that way, in fact I was debating spending the season over there. My only doubts are on the snowpack, I read the end of the season report from the snowsafety website and they said it was a terrible season for snowfall, and many places weren't covered until february. Have you read this report? http://www.gulmargsnowsafety.com/pub...eport_2011.pdf
How long were you thinking of being over there for?
New here, but frequent visitor...
@SnowayJose, I'm going to be in Kashmir from mid Jan. I'm looking at doing some touring down Manali way mid to late March. Would be keen to get amongst it.
@SnowayJose - I'm going to be in landing in Delhi on the 11th of Jan, heading up to Kashmir shortly after. I'll be around until the end of March. I was thinking of heading down Manali way sometime mid to late March. Would be real keen for some touring in the Kullu!
@Alkares - I don't know if you can make a snowpack judgement call from the previous season can you?
I'm going to be in India for other business, and am making a short trip up to gulmarg from january 4-11. I'm hoping for the best (that they're open), but it I have to get back to work.
Halt Hammerzeit!
..was thinking about late January, but snow pack has me concerned as well.
Hey guys,
I'll be going to the Kullu Valley from late Feb to late April. We'll be looking for partners. There's also a small chance I'll go earlier (mid Jan.) If anyones looking for partners anywhere in those timeframes fire me a pm or email - email is my username here @gmail.com
d The reason I'd go earlier than late Feb is pretty much to get dental work done, some family lives fairly close by so I could go for that and then head over to the mountains once done (would need to allow a fair bit of time just in case.) But otherwise by late Feb I more meant start of March, which we thought would be a good time to start going and getting a feel for the area and such. We've never been to the area, and the guidebook said that March is typically the best month to be there, so we're pretty much going off that. Might not have the right conditions for too much that early on, but would be good to get an idea of the area first. We've also been looking at going to Gulmarg for the first week or two instead though. (have you been to Gulmarg before? If so do you think it'd be worth the extra bit of money/time to go there and such?) Coming back at the end of Apr/start of May because of work for me, and friend is going on a traverse in AK in May. Any tips/advice/recommendations at all are appreciated!! Have you spent much time in the area?
