'''Apharwat Peak''' is a [[summit]], situated at a height of {{convert|4390|m|ft|0}} above the [[sea level]],<ref name="elevation" /> in [[Gulmarg]], India. It receives heavy snowfall and remains covered with [[snow]] for much of the year. The [[Line of Control]] (LOC) is barely a few kilometres away from here. Lying in the second phase of the [[Aerial lift|cable car]] ride from Gulmarg, reaching this spot is highly dependent on the weather conditions.<br />
<br />
Gulmarg has more than three acres of ski and snowboarding terrain. The beginner's slopes start at about 7000 feet, while more serious runs of Phase 1 are at 10,000 feet. A chairlift can take ski and snowboard enthusiasts up to 11,500 feet, while Phase 2 is the highest run at 14,000 feet.<ref>{{Cite web|title=5 of the best snowboarding destinations in India|url=https://www.redbull.com/in-en/snowboarding-destinations-india|access-date=2020-09-23|website=Red Bull|language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
The gondola on Apharwat Peak, one of the Asia's largest and highest cable car ringed by pine forests and snow capped Himalayan mountain peaks, takes skiers and snowboarders to the height of 3900 metres to 4100 metres on the mountain.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-02-22|title=Gulmarg preps for national winter games, Kashmir hopes for tourism boost|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/gulmarg-preps-for-national-winter-games-kashmir-hopes-for-tourism-boost/story-3ddHDh2Q9AIusZ4k6P2h4I.html|access-date=2020-09-23|website=Hindustan Times|language=en}}</ref> Nearest Airport is Sheikh Ul Alam International airport Srinagar.<br />
