Gulmarg has got Jammu and Kashmir's first five-star hotel. With magnificent views, the five-star hotel The Khyber Himalayan resort was opened for tourists on Thursday and is already drawing comparison with the world's top properties. At a height of 9000 feet, it is a blend of local and modern architecture and is the new attraction for tourists.
Thirty-five-year-old Kashmiri businessman Omar Tramboo is the man whose idea and money is behind this project. It took him nearly five years to bring up Jammu and Kashmir's first five-star hotel with world-class facilities in Gulmarg. "Kashmir has been historically known as a tourism destination because of its pristine beauty and hospitality. But unfortunately not a single top brand has emerged till date. It was my dream that a luxurious five-star brand comes up here," he says.
The Khyber Himalayan resort is run by American group JHM. We are very happy to say that from tomorrow (Thursday) to January 5 we are fully booked," says JHM General Manager Alex Kochi.
