The cable‑car service in Gulmarg, Jammu & Kashmir, has been suspended from today, the newspaper Kashmir Life said.
The gondola service that connects Gulmarg’s base station to its higher peaks has been stopped with immediate effect, according to a report by Kashmir Life. Authorities announced the suspension early this morning, but did not disclose the specific reason for the halt.
The Gulmarg cable‑car is a key attraction for tourists year‑round, serving skiers in winter and trekkers in summer. Its temporary unavailability is expected to affect visitor plans and could reduce footfall in the hill station’s hospitality sector.
Travelers have been advised to monitor official channels for updates and to consider alternative transport options while the service remains suspended. Local businesses are urging the administration to restore operations promptly to mitigate economic impact.
