The story

Khilanmarg is a small valley and meadow in Jammu and Kashmir, roughly 6 km from Gulmarg and reached by an ascent of about 600 metres. In spring the meadow is covered in flowers, and in winter it holds Gulmarg's ski runs.

From here the view takes in the surrounding peaks and looks out across the Kashmir Valley. The panorama of the Himalayas stretches from Nanga Parbat to the twin summits of Nun and Kun, both around 7,100 metres, away to the southeast.
