A Home away from your Home
There sits a homestay on Tangmarg highway in Gulmarg, which is just a half-an-hour drive from the Gondola ride point. Enter the homestay & you’ll immediately discover it is another home away from your home. Yes, it is KASHMIR HOMESTAY run by Mr Ather Hussain with Kashmiri hospitality. So, if you ever decide to visit Gulmarg to enjoy the Gondola Ride and sightseeing, don’t forget to stay at this homestay. Just don’t.
Its strategic location is only a part of the story. You’ll be, as my wife & I were, blown away by the warm welcome and hospitality of Mr Ather Hussain & his family—the owner of the homestay. Ather with a degree in electronics engineering from Chandigarh University is ever willing to provide you with 24x7 home service. Galvanically built, tall & lanky, Ather is a tireless provider to his clients. Smart & simple, he is extremely serious. You’ll automatically learn to trust this gentleman one hundred percent.
We’re extremely fortunate to get a chance to stay at this Homestay for our 3N stay we booked in advance online. @Rs 3000/N We got a double-bedded room with a heavy breakfast for both of us. Besides, Ather provided us with a total kitchen attached to our room. It contained ovens with LPG cylinder, rice, wheat, tea, coffee, Maggie, powdered species of all kinds, half-a-dozen eggs, sugar, salt, potatoes, onions, ginger, garlic cloves, cooking oil, and an assortment of utensils…. what not! And Ather bestowed on us full liberty to make good of his kitchen.
This homestay is not a hotel that’ll provide you with cooked food for lunch & dinner. But there are two good restaurants (dhaba) on the other side of the highway and Ather always escorted us to those eateries to ensure our safety during road-crossing.
Not only did he book our Gondola tickets but also he booked a cab for our forward & return journey for the Gondola ride and also for Doodhpathri & finally to Srinagar.
Power crisis is a longstanding problem throughout Kashmir and the pace of development is sluggish. Much work is to be done for infrastructural development, given the tourism industry begets 70% of income to the Kashmiris. The Govt. must not rely solely on hydel power coming from the national grid but should liberally invest in solar power to diffuse the benefits of electricity to the grassroots levels and in remote areas. Because of this frequent power cut, which is as unpredictable as Kashmir’s weather, most of the hotels in Kashmir have their own generator sets. Kashmir H’stay stands no exception and because of that, you’ll get hot water from the geyser twenty-four hours.
To prevent us from severe cold, Ather equipped our bedroom with a wood-fired fireplace. And just as we stepped into our room, Ather’s dad, retired police personnel with an equally amiable disposition, immediately swung into action: he brought in two sac-full of dry wood and ignited them in the fireplace. We felt cozy in the warmth to sleep comfortably at another home 3000 kilometers away from our home.
That’s not all. Ather greeted us with a pleasant surprise when we were dropped by our cab before Gift-tree—the other name of the Home Stay. He surprised us with a pair of tickets for a Gondola ride on the following day. Believe me, I honestly tried from Kolkata to book these tickets online but failed despite my 6 hours of continuous efforts for two successive days (15th April & 16th April 2024). And then I politely requested Ather to make his try from Gulmarg just in case he could access the J & K Cable Car Corporation’s server. When we boarded the flight on 18th April 2024 from Kolkata, we knew we didn’t have any fair chance of riding a Gondola.
Kashmir Homestay is neat and clean including the attached bath fitted with a geyser, commode & other itineraries. Just don’t call me biased if I give five out of five to Ather’s homestay!

Noteworthy details: The Kashmir Homestay [The Gifttree] overlooks the Tangmarg Highway which is the National Highway NH 701A connecting Baramulla (north end) & Gulmarg (west end). The homestay is just 39 km drive from Srinagar.
It's the gateway to take you to the mesmerizing landscape of snow-covered Kongdori, Khilanmarg, and the endlessly beautiful meadows of Doodhpathri. If you visit Gulmarg in Winter, your eyes will be glued to the icicles of the frozen waterfall, Durung.
The ambiance is calm, & quiet and free from dust & pollution.
Even here you can access Internet Services. You can contact /book your hotels at Srinagar, Sonmarg, and Pahalgam, or book a cab using your mobile fitted with a Kashmiri SIM card.
You can foot your hotel bills via Google Pay, ATM cards.
