On day 3, we went to Gulmarg, which took us at least 2.5 hrs. Gulmarg is a very pretty place with snow clad mountains. People come here to enjoy cable car rides, skiing, and other adventure sports.  The site is divided into 2 phases. At phase 1, you can have enjoy all kind of snow adventure sports, while phase 2 is mostly famous for valley view and treks. For foodies, there is not much to eat at this point but maggi and Kashmiri kahwah is a must try here. The best part is Gondola ride(cable car ride) which costs you around Rs. 740 for phase 1 and Rs. 950 for phase 2.
