Srinagar to Gulmarg you can reach by taxi on direct pay basis. if you are planning for the months of June -july it's mid sumner where you can experience bit of every - heat , rain & chills along with extreme Greenery. it's also ideal this time for river rafting and other adventure sports apart from skiing. I am also heading in the month of July .
although March to June to is the most gathered tourist season of the state.
If you are looking for a budget stay , you can lock homestay as they are fix on budgets or you can lock alpine ridge as it is a standard property.
if you are looking for premium or deluxe cases - then Khyber resort or hotel kolahoi is also there. if you are travelling solo , homestays are always the bestest choice as they give you home like feeling.
North East is known as seven sistersandone brother.You focuson each state one by one.If you want to visit Meghalaya..you keep at least seven to eight days. One should spare two days for Nongriat trek .It special spot is Rainbow falls,which is visible only in morning hours.
How to reach there..........From your destination to Cherapunji then you can start your trek.Better to take a guide with you this is my personal advise.
Since it's a weekend, it will take time to get approved and all. Wait till Monday, if its still not showing, write a mail to the team regarding the same
