Reserve Your Stay →Where tradition meets tranquility in the heart of Gurez Valley
The Markhor Lodge sits in the breathtaking Gurez Valley, a pristine corner of Kashmir where the Kishanganga River winds through snow-capped peaks and ancient Dard-Shin culture thrives.
Our lodge is built in the traditional Kashmiri wooden architectural style — spacious rooms with natural timber interiors, offering warmth and comfort against the valley's crisp mountain air. Managed by Mr. Ubaid Khan, a native speaker of the local Shina language and a master of hospitality, every guest experiences genuine Kashmiri warmth.
Whether you're here for the legendary Markhor sightings, the serene mountain trails, or simply to disconnect from the world — The Markhor Lodge is your sanctuary.
