A look around

What's here

The first thing you notice is the quiet professionalism of the staff. They are there when you need them, ready with a recommendation or quick to handle a request, making you feel looked after from the moment you arrive. The home is built in a classic mountain chalet style, with balconies looking out over the green expanse of Gulmarg. The property has 28 private bedrooms, each with its own attached bathroom. The rooms are spacious and kept warm, a welcome feeling during the cold Kashmiri winters. Beds are king-sized, and the bathrooms are large, with a steady supply of hot water, a detail many guests mention. There is ample parking on the premises for those driving in. The in-house restaurant is a highlight. The food is consistently praised by guests for being fresh, well-prepared, and delicious, with generous portions. The service, often led by the manager, Aijaz, is what people remember most. As one guest, Arif Ameen, put it, "Aijaz created an atmosphere that felt personal and attentive. We were made to feel like valued guests rather than just customers." Another guest, Sachin Srivastava, noted, "The staff here is extremely cooperative and professional, front desk officials are always there for your help and will do whatever it takes to make you feel special day or night." In the evenings, you can gather around the fire pit on the lawn, under the wide-open sky. It’s a simple, quiet way to end a day of exploring the mountains.

Around the stay

Things to do nearby.

Gulmarg itself is the main attraction. The Gulmarg Gondola, the second-highest cable car in the world, is a short drive away and offers two stages of ascent for panoramic views and access to ski slopes in the winter.

For a day trip, you can drive towards Srinagar, about 50 km away. There, you can take a shikara ride on the iconic Dal Lake, weaving between the houseboats and floating markets. The city is also home to the Mughal gardens - Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, and Chashme Shahi - which are beautiful in the spring and autumn.

Further afield, you can plan longer excursions to Pahalgam (about 145 km from Gulmarg) to see the Lidder river and the Bollywood-famous Aru and Betaab valleys. Sonamarg, the ‘meadow of gold’, is another stunning destination, serving as the gateway to the Zoji La pass and offering short treks to the Thajiwas glacier.

Logistics

Getting there.

The nearest major airport is Sheikh ul-Alam International Airport in Srinagar (SXR), roughly 50 km away. It has direct flights from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and other major Indian cities. The drive from the airport to Gulmarg takes about two hours. The alternate airport is in Jammu (IXJ), about 340 km away, used when weather affects flights to Srinagar.

The closest railway station is in Banihal, 160 km away. However, most travelers prefer to drive from Srinagar or Jammu. Taxis and pre-booked cars are readily available from the airport.

Seasons

Best time to visit.

The best time to visit depends on what you want to see. April through June is spring, when the meadows are green and the famous tulip garden in Srinagar is in full bloom. The weather is pleasant and clear.

September and October bring autumn, when the leaves of the chinar trees turn gold and red, painting the valley in warm colours. The air is crisp, and the skies are often clear, offering great views of the peaks.

For snow, visit between December and February. Gulmarg transforms into a premier ski resort, with deep powder and active slopes. The landscape is covered in a thick blanket of white, and the gondola becomes the main artery for skiers and sightseers.
