Put More of Your Budget Into Learning
The Budget Private Package is designed for guests who want the benefits of individual coaching without paying for a premium hotel.
Your instructor can adapt each lesson around your ability, confidence, and progress, while the package takes care of the practical parts of the trip.
The main difference from our higher Private tiers is the accommodation level—not the purpose of the ski or snowboard program.
Is Budget Private Right for You?
This package is a good fit if you:
- Want one-to-one instruction
- Are learning to ski or snowboard for the first time
- Want more individual feedback than a group course
- Prefer simple accommodation to a premium hotel
- Are traveling solo or as part of a small group
- Want more flexibility around travel dates
- Care more about time on snow than hotel facilities
You do not need previous skiing or snowboarding experience.
Lessons Built Around Your Progress
One-to-One Feedback
Your instructor can focus on your technique throughout the lesson instead of dividing attention across a group.
Your Own Pace
Spend more time on difficult skills and move forward when you're ready.
More Flexible Progression
Your lesson plan can change as your confidence and ability develop.
Private instruction can provide more individualized coaching, but it does not guarantee that you will reach a particular skill or terrain level within a set number of days.
5 Days or 7 Days?
5 Days / 4 Nights
A Shorter Private Ski Trip
A compact itinerary with four private lesson days, suitable for guests with limited time or those combining Gulmarg with a wider Kashmir trip.
- Private instruction: 4 days
- Stay: 4 nights
- Best for: Shorter trips and focused private coaching
7 Days / 6 Nights
More Time to Learn and Practice
A full-week option with six private lesson days and more time to build consistency.
The package structure includes beginner lift access and Phase 1 Gondola passes, although use of higher terrain should depend on your ability and conditions.
- Private instruction: 6 days
- Stay: 6 nights
- From: ₹45,000 per person
A Program That Changes With You
Your lessons depend on your starting ability.
If You're a Complete Beginner
You may work on:
- Equipment basics
- Balance and stance
- Controlled movement
- Speed control
- Stopping
- First turns
- Linking turns
- Beginner lift use
If You Already Have Experience
Your instructor can focus more specifically on areas such as:
