One of India’s Most Expensive Resorts is in Gulmarg: Have a look!
The oft-recited couplet ‘Agar firdaus bar roo-e zameen ast, Hameen ast-o hameen ast-o hameen ast, (If there is heaven on earth, it is here, it is here, it is here!) rings true at one of India’s most expensive resorts in Gulmarg.
Perched on a mountain surrounded by snowclad mountains in the winters and lush green meadows in the summer, The Khyber Resort and Spa is Gulmarg’s only five-star luxury resort. Offering breathtaking views of the Affarwat peaks of the Pir Panchal mountain range in the Himalayas, the 85-room resort is enveloped by nature at its most spectacular elevation of 8825 feet above sea level. Clad in locally sourced pine and slate, the resort is built in a style true to the architectural heritage of Kashmir. In every way, the indoor mirrors the outdoors.


Winning first place in Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Travel Awards 2022 for favourite boutique hotel, Khyber is a favourite for travellers wanting to get lost in the lap of luxury. Traditional restaurants, a world-class spa, a hot water pool with the panoramic view of the landscape, a children’s club, a mini theatre and a dedicated activities concierge are among the luxuries offered on site.

To enjoy a stay in this luxurious resort, plan your trip in winter and get a chance to experience the winter wonderland.
