Gulmarg Biosphere Reserve

Gulmarg Biosphere Reserve is a vital protected Himalayan ecosystem spanning over 180 square kilometres around the Gulmarg resort area, one of the most ecologically significant conservation zones in Jammu and Kashmir. The reserve is home to critically endangered Himalayan musk deer, elusive snow leopards, brown bears, red foxes, and extraordinary alpine plant communities found nowhere else in India. Birdwatching, wildlife photography, and responsible eco-tourism trails through the reserve offer a deeper and more sustainable Gulmarg experience. Gulmarg Biosphere Reserve is an essential destination for wildlife enthusiasts and nature conservation advocates visiting Kashmir.
