Apharwat Peak's history is intertwined with the development of Gulmarg as a tourist destination. While the peak itself doesn't have specific historical events associated with it, its accessibility has improved significantly over time. Initially, reaching the peak was a challenging trek. The introduction of the Gulmarg Gondola in phases, starting in 1998 and completing in 2005, revolutionized access, making it convenient for tourists to experience the high-altitude beauty. The peak's popularity grew further with the development of winter sports infrastructure, establishing it as a prime skiing destination.
