Location Summary
A world away from the ordinary, this 85-room resort is framed at every vantage point by nature at its most spectacular. The world’s highest ski lift, the Gulmarg Gondola – which takes you to Kongdoori Mountain, is only a short walk away. Meadows and forests that have enchanted travellers for centuries wait to be explored by trekking enthusiasts and undying romantics.
Directions to Hotel
The resort lies 65 kilometers away from Srinagar Airport. Your experience begins with a ninety-minute transfer by car to The Khyber, through languid meadows and forested slopes. There are direct flights daily to Srinagar from Delhi (an hour’s duration) and Mumbai (2 hours and 45 minutes).
Note Bene
During the warm days of spring and summer, a host of activities like gondola rides, mountain biking, kayaking, rock climbing, white water rafting, para-sailing, hang gliding and jeep safaris are possible and the Activity Concierge at the resort will help you plan.
Banquets & Meetings
With more than 10,000 square feet of meeting, banquet and event space including the beautifully landscaped Paradeez gardens and an amphitheatre, The Khyber is well set up for any gathering. For board meetings or brainstorming sessions, a destination wedding or a motivational corporate offsite, The Khyber offers a unique setting round the year.
Fine Dining On Site
Travel the world of cuisines at Cloves, where food from across the globe is served up with panoramic views. Satisfy your pasta, mezze or dim sum cravings, or be introduced to Wazwan, the plentiful feast of Kashmiri weddings, in an atmosphere that captures the grandeur of the mountains.

Soak in stunning views from your treatment room, indulge in Provencal inspired rituals with Shea from Burkina Faso and Immortelle from Corsica, feel the gentle warmth of your private steam chamber, spend soulful moments in the over-sized Couple's Suites, embark on a journey of sensorial delights and pamper yourself with treatment protocols that incorporate the best of the west and the east.

Hiking
The Khyber Resort is a great starting point for treks and walks and whether you’re a true adventurer or an enthusiastic beginner, trained experts will guide you through the terrain. The trek to Khilanmarg Valley to see spring flowers is amongst the most enchanting. The more adventurous can trek through snow-clad mountains to the serene Alpather Lake.
Horseback Riding
Take guide-led tours of the meadows and plains in the vicinity, from late spring through to the autumn. Stop for a picnic lunch, an afternoon of rest and recreation, or simply to smell the roses.
Skiing Snow
The Gulmarg Gondola is only minutes away, making The Khyber a ski in- ski out resort. The world’s highest ski lift will whisk you away to Kongdoori Mountain, on the shoulder of Mount Affarwat, which at 13,780 feet is the highest ski point in the Himalayas. Certified instructors, quality equipment, and the right apparel is at hand, courtesy the Indian Institute of Skiing and Mountaineering.
