Heart of Kashmir Homestay-Srinagar

Heart of Kashmir Homestay – Srinagar

Srinagar, the enchanting paradise, would steal your heart with its tranquil Dal Lake, surrounded by the mighty Zafarwat mountains, with vibrant shikaras. The air is perfumed with saffron aroma and traditional Kashmiri music melodies. The narrow lanes of Downtown and bridges over the Jheelum whisper tales of timeless beauty. Srinagar, a symphony of nature’s wonders and soul-stirring experiences, will forever etch in your memory. Enjoy this stillness of time with homestay situated at the edge of the city and set on a startlingly beautiful elevation. The house has a panoramic view of the entire city.

This charming 3-year-old bungalow built with locally sourced mountain stones, is nestled amidst picturesque landscapes away from the chaos of the main city. There are 2 attic rooms and one family room. Uniquely designed bedrooms with huge windows tempt you to leave the blinds open and sleep in starlight and the twinkle of the city lights afar. The balconies overlook the magnificent mountains and the serene Dal Lake. Step into the beautifully furnished living and dining area, exuding the elegance of Kashmiri-style furniture and carpets. The space integrates perfectly with the surrounding landscape. Relax in the garden, with its expanses of cherry and apple trees.
