Khilanmarg is a small
and beautiful valley positioned at a distance of 6km away from the world’s
highest, 18-hole green golf course at Gulmarg. It is obtainable by foot, by
pony or in a dandi. It's a 600-metre climb from Gulmarg to Khilanmarg and
throughout the premature spring, as the snow defrosts, it can be a very swampy
hour's rise up the hill. If it’s glassy than the climb you mounted will be
merited with a breath taking view of the Nanga Parbat to the 7100 meter twin
mountains Nun and Kun to the southeastern side. You won’t feel sorry for
yourself if it isn’t visible too, because the pasturage, floored with flowers
in the spring, is the spot for Gulmarg's wintry ski runs and provides a
handsome view over the Kashmir Valley.Various Magnetisms in and Around Khilanmarg: Ferozpore Nallah: Arrived from the Tangmarg road, or from the external Circular Walk, this mountain brook joins the Bahan River at a famous picnic location popularly known as 'waters meet'.
