8,825 feet above sea level in the Pir Panjal range of the Himalayas lies a higher order of luxury. Gulmarg now has a world-class resort worthy of its pristine beauty. The Khyber Himalayan Resort & Spa is spread over seven unspoilt, fir-laden acres, with majestic views of the Affarwat Peaks. Through the year the drama of the changing seasons unfolds here. In spring, carpets of flowers add dazzling colour to the valley, inviting you to long walks. Come summer and you’re picnicking on sun-drenched meadows. In the autumn, the greens at the world's highest golf course await you. Winter brings the exhilaration of skiing on freshly powdered slopes, some of the finest in Asia.
All eighty rooms, four luxury cottages and Presidential Suite offer breathtaking views of the Affarwat Peaks or of evergreen valleys. The interiors are designed with traditional materials and showcase fine Kashmiri crafts. Namdas of felted wool, silk carpets from local looms, furnishings embellished with crewel embroidery, carved walnut paneling, teakwood floors and papier mache accents draw upon Kashmir’s rich heritage of craftsmanship.
