Nestled within a convenient 65 km drive from Srinagar Airport, The Khyber Himalayan Resort & Spa stands as an expansive estate, elevating itself beyond the ordinary.
Embark on an unparalleled, year-round journey at The Khyber, where the valley undergoes a transformative spectacle. Summers unveil lush green meadows adorned with the brightest blooms, while fall immerses you in splendid sepia hues and autumnal skies. Yet, nothing quite prepares you for the enchanting winter wonderland of a snow-covered Gulmarg. The experience is so sublime that the arrival of a gorgeous spring, painting the region in a brilliant shade of lavender, almost feels bittersweet.
