The Khyber, Not Just a Hotel in Srinagar – It’s More than That!

Gulmarg in Kashmir is one of the most-visited places in Kashmir. Also known as ‘Gaurimarg’ by the shepherds, it was Sultan Yusuf Shah who gave this place its present name. The Sultan was inspired by the sight of its grassy slopes blessed with wild flowers. Today, Gulmarg is not just famous for its exceptional beauty, but it’s also known for having the highest green golf course in the world. Moreover, located at an altitude of 2,650m, Gulmarg is India’s premier ski resort in the winter.

Talking about reaching Gulmarg, the route is filled with breathtaking views of the valley. It’s the season that dictates the color of the valley, so it could be translucent green during the spring, rich emerald during the summer and covered in golden hues during the autumn. Once you cross Tangmarg, the climb to Gulmarg begins through fir-covered hillsides.

If you are anytime soon planning to go to Gulmarg and are looking forward to experiencing Gulmarg at its best, then book your stay at The Khyber Himalayan Resort & Spa, Gulmarg!

Like their website says, The Khyber Himalayan Resort & Spa, Gulmarg is “a rare gem in a perfect setting”. It’s a world in its own, away from the chaos of the city and is one of the most popular hotels in Srinagar. In total, there are 85 well-maintained and spacious rooms in this resort. The world’s highest ski lift, the Gulmarg Gondola is a short distance away from the resort.

This resort in Gulmarg is the perfect place for trekking enthusiasts and hopeless romantics, and if you are any of these two, then without a second thought pack up your bags and explore this gem!
