Kashmir Homestay

An unrated homestay above Gulmarg's Dobhiwan Mangloora quarter, Kashmir Homestay sits close to the electric receiving station with direct sightlines toward the Pir Panjal range — a position that trades town-centre convenience for open garden views and quieter nights.

The property earns a 9.7 rating across 63 reviews, an unusually high score for a homestay category. Guests can arrange skiing directly through the property, and local culture tours are offered on request — a meaningful edge given Gulmarg's gondola access to Apharwat Peak. Breakfast arrives in-room, with to-go containers available for early ski departures.

Airport shuttle and car rental cover the two-hour transfer from Srinagar. An ATM and convenience store sit on site, reducing the need to navigate Gulmarg's limited village banking.
