Quick answer: March in Gulmarg is the tail of winter: snow stays good on the upper slopes and at Kongdoori, while the lower meadow begins to melt later in the month. Days are milder, around 5 C, and crowds thin out. It is a good month for spring skiing and for combining snow with the start of Srinagar’s Tulip Garden season at the end of the month.

Is there snow in Gulmarg in March?
Yes, especially in the first half. Kongdoori and Apharwat keep good snow, and the Gondola makes it easy to reach. On the lower meadow, snow softens and starts to melt in late March, leaving slushy paths.
Spring skiing
Mornings have firm snow, afternoons get softer. Ski early, stop by lunch, and use the higher slopes. See ski course.
Gulmarg plus tulips
If you travel in the last week of March, you may catch the opening of the Tulip Garden in Srinagar, snow in Gulmarg and almond blossom in the same trip. Opening dates are announced each year.
