  • Gondola fares and ticket conditions can change; the official J&K Cable Car Corporation booking portal should be treated as the final fare authority.
  • Gondola tickets are date and time-slot dependent, so guests should reserve the correct travel date in advance.
  • Phase 2 is more sensitive to wind, snow, visibility and operational restrictions than Phase 1.
  • Weather conditions can result in temporary suspension or modification of Gondola operations.
  • The Phase 2 station reaches approximately 3,980 metres, so guests should be prepared for cold temperatures and reduced oxygen levels.

  • Gondola cabins are shared with other passengers even though the road transfer is private.
