Our friend's booked us at The Khyber for our two night stay at Gulmarg. Nothing could have been more pleasant. The staff were efficient and friendly and the Kahwa at check-in was yummy given the chilly weather that evening. Breath-taking views of snow-capped mountains and pine forest from every window of the resort - just magical. Rooms were well planned... More

The hotel is situated inside Gulmarg and just 2 minutes from the popular Gondola ride. The property is big and is tastefully built. One can view the distant snow-capped peaks from the tea lounge, and beautiful pine trees and snow from the room/balcony. We received a warm welcome and the hotel upgraded us to luxury rooms for free which was... More

Though The Restaurant is not too spacious but the service... More

It's a review that comes with a red warning light... The hotel is amazingly located and beautifully made. It is a place I would strongly recommend to anyone who wants to have a great time.
