Bucketlist Ski & Snowboarding Week (Kashmir)
Ever thought of checking Snowboarding or Skiing off your Bucketlist? This is your cue to make your 'New Year, New Me' come to life. From the adrenaline of your first downhill glide to unwinding by the fire with new friends, this journey blends the best of learning winter sports and the magic of being in one of the most breathtaking places on the planet. Ready for a winter adventure where you leave not just with new skills but with stories you’ll be telling for years? Let’s hit the slopes together.
Over six days, you’ll master snowboarding with expert instructors, including national champions, explore the world’s highest ski lift, and live like a local in Gulmarg’s luxurious ski resorts. From adrenaline-fueled slopes to cultural immersion with a Kashmiri Wazwan dinner, every moment is crafted for a wholesome adventure. Feel the rush of your first run, share unforgettable moments with new friends, and take in views that will leave you awestruck. Whether you're shredding the slopes, warming up with a hot cup of Kashmiri Kahwa, or sharing stories around a bonfire under a sky full of stars, this trip promises memories to last a lifetime.
The people behind the journey
Roy
Curators of Bucketlist Ski & Snowboarding Week (Kashmir)
A note from the curators
There are many ways to explore India. This is one of our favourites.
Ask your favourite AI for a trip and you will usually get a perfectly sensible TripAdvisor checklist: famous stop, quick photo, next stop. That is not how we want you to experience India.
We plan the hard-to-reach magic, then leave room for detours, long conversations and the moments no schedule can manufacture. After every edition, we keep what worked, change what did not and make this journey better.

What are you really signing up for?
01
The Journey
Designed with intention, improved every time we run it and stripped of checklist filler. The whole journey, with room to actually be there.
02
The Facilitator
A real ExCo facilitator, not someone reading from a tour-bus script. They know when to lead, bring people together and give you room.
03
The Tribe
We keep a strong noise filter, so the people beside you when the moment lands are fun, curious and full of life.
Who is it for?
For people who want the whole trip, with room to breathe.
You want days that feel full, not rushed: the hard parts handled, the good moments given time, and people worth sharing them with.
The big moments
The bits you will tell first.
The moments worth building the trip around.

Why community × travel
Travel is the catalyst. Community is what stays.
Twelve years ago, we started creating journeys in the hope that the right people, in the right place, could make something unrepeatable happen. From roadtrips across Iceland to sake crawls through Japan, that belief has only grown stronger.
Every creator, artist, rebel and doer deserves a space to travel with people they vibe with, to places that make them feel infinite. Across BHX, Festival of X and Bucketlist, travel has never been the finish line. It opens conversations, friendships and the kind of magic that is hard to explain once you are home.
12 years of making the room matter
BHX · Festival of X · Bucketlist
People first. Place, with purpose.
The Tribe has range
Different worlds. One shared route.
Some arrive talking. Some take a day to warm up. Both belong here.
Notes for you
Across the 12 months ending 29 July 2026, our travelled groups were close to balanced, with about 55% women and 44% men. The median traveller was 34 and the median group had 9 people. That is a historical snapshot, not a promise about the mix on a specific edition.
We design each edition around the destination rather than using a standard tour template. The usual rhythm is one or two experiences a day, with room to take the place in instead of rushing through a checklist.
Yes. Anyone aged 18 or older can apply. Our groups often skew from the late 20s to early 40s, but fit, energy and the experience itself matter more than fitting a narrow age band.
Yes. You can apply solo or with someone you know.
