Guari marg was the original name of this place which was named after the Hindu goddess called the Devi Gauri. It was later known to be Gulmarg which Sultan Yusuf Shah had placed since it means meadowed of flowers. The place was explored before the 16th century but since then it had always been the favorite of many kinds because of different collections of flowers that use to blossom here every season.
During the era of the Mughal emperor as well, it was only the Gulmarg flowers that were brought in the garden. Later in 1927, Birstisbers started establishing this place as a ski club and to date, the same ritual is followed especially during Christmas seasons.
