Khushamdeed
Step beyond the map and into the soul of Kashmir,
as we guide you on a journey of discovery and wonder.
Explore Kashmir through the eyes of a local host.
Surrounded by the magnificent Himalayan ranges, Kashmir is famous for its stunning natural beauty, snow-capped mountains, picturesque valleys, and pristine lakes.
The region is also known for its rich cultural heritage with a long history of art, music, and poetry. It is famous for its traditional handicrafts like shawls, carpets, and papier-mache products. The local cuisine is also a must-try for any food lover, with dishes like rogan josh, dum aloo, and Kashmiri pulao being some of the most popular.
Walk with us in the ‘firdaus’, through the bowl-shaped valleys with their lush meadows, dense oak and deodar forests, serene lakes and gushing streams. We will also introduce you to the region’s delectable cuisine, enchanting music, and enduring traditions.
Join us on an exciting journey to explore Kashmir in its physical and spiritual dimensions and, along the way, rejuvenate and rediscover yourself.
A warm welcome to you – Khushamdeed!
Tucked away in the picturesque Pahalgam valley and commanding an unobstructed view of the hills and meadows, the three-bedroom homestay is the perfect getaway for those seeking a peaceful escape. Aruu, Laderwat, and Betab Valley, the three famous scenic locations, are conveniently close.
This four bedroom property is a cozy place to stay while you’re in Srinagar. It is a quiet homestay that is hardly a 20 minute drive from Srinagar airport, and its convenient location makes it easy to get about the city. The house, with access to the kitchen, sits in a manicured garden, with each room furnished and decorated in an individual style.
Srinagar is a walker’s paradise. The city is a melange of historic buildings, shrines and old markets aside from its magnificent Mughal era gardens and the famous Dal lake.
Roam the streets of DownTown, a densely settled Srinagar proper, and soak up the smells, sights and sounds.
