Experiences
Qayaam Gah offers a Driving Adventure program with the opportunity to enjoy open-top 4WD jeeps through some of the world’s most scenic and dramatic mountains. Explore incredible landscapes surrounding ABChapri’s Kashmir properties at your leisure with a personally customised itinerary and pause en-route to drop in at the Sukoon houseboat and Camp Sukoon.
Wake up to a fresh cup of bed coffee and attend a rejuvenating yoga class to kickstart your day. Watch shikaras drifting between houseboats, stilted lakeside hamlets and floating gardens while the shimmering image of Hazrat Bal Shrine is reflected in the water like a mirage. Rediscover the magic of silence only occasionally broken by a bell hanging from a passing goat’s neck. Take leisurely strolls on mountain paths to spectacular viewpoints with a picnic and experience traditional rural Kashmiri life. Trek over hills of the Zabarwan range to Dachigam National Park, where Himalayan Black bears and Hangul Kashmir stag roam. It is a delight for birders, and one can find black bulbuls, colourful pheasants, cinnamon sparrows, and pygmy owlets. Visit the nearby ornate Mughal Gardens and atmospheric historical heritage sites steeped in history.
You can choose a book from their fascinating library and learn about the local history, wildlife and Sufism over a cup of Kashmiri Kahwa. Enjoy a quiet moment at the sunset lounge in the sunken alfresco fire pit where the pool catches reflections of the ever-changing colour streaked sky accompanied by flickering candles as night falls.
Perfect For
families and travellers who want to experience a holiday that blends harmoniously with its unbounded natural habitat. Enjoy the glorious Himalayan sunsets and pleasant evenings around a campfire to remind yourself that a life lived well is life amidst Mother nature.
