Does Gulmarg have any quality hire equipment?

Sports equipment for hire in Gulmarg covers snowboarding, ice skating, ice hockey, plus alpine and cross-country skiing. The local J&K government shop has a good supply of recent model snowboarding, cross country and alpine skiing equipment.

Although we expect most international visitors would bring their own equipment, you might wish to take advantage of the government hire shop's inexpensive rates and quality equipment to try another winter sports discipline while in Gulmarg (daily hire rates in February 2005 were 250 Rupees - approx US$6 - per day including boots).
