❄️ Snow Road to Royal Legacy – Gulmarg Golf Course & Maharaja Hari Singh Palace
Kashmir Vlog Day 5 – Episode 16
On this part of our Kashmir journey, the road itself felt like a destination. Covered in fresh snow and surrounded by silent pine forests, the drive through Gulmarg revealed yet another layer of Kashmir’s charm.
Our destination was not just another scenic viewpoint — it was a place where nature meets royal history.
