Perched majestically on a ridge, Qayaam Gah offers an unparalleled escape into the spiritual heart of Kashmir. Named after the Sufi concept of the highest mystical state, this retreat provides a transcendental experience with sweeping views of Dal Lake and the verdant Zabarwan Hills. Here, luxury meets spirituality in a setting that harmoniously blends with Kashmir’s natural splendor and cultural depth.
The retreat is crafted from cedar wood and locally sourced Pandrethan and Manasbal stones, achieving a perfect fusion of architecture and nature. Expansive windows frame panoramic vistas of the lake and mountains, allowing the outside beauty to flow seamlessly into the elegant interiors. Deodar woodwork, sumptuous rugs, and fresh flowers adorn the space, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere.
Qayaam Gah features seven bespoke villas, each offering unique perspectives of the lake or mountains. The three lower suites can be interconnected, catering to families or groups seeking a shared retreat. Enhance your stay with a dip in the shimmering outdoor infinity pool, enjoy soulful live performances at the Qalb deck, or indulge in a private meal at the exclusive dining pavilion—all designed to reflect the retreat’s mystical and tranquil essence.
Dining at Ruh, the on-site restaurant, is a feast for the senses. Experience the rich flavors of traditional Kashmiri cuisine with a contemporary flair, featuring locally sourced ingredients like freshly baked breads, walnut chutneys, and classic dishes such as traami. The restaurant’s design masterfully combines Kashmiri craftsmanship with modern elegance, offering both alfresco and indoor dining options.
Engage deeply with the local culture and landscape through guided tours, a lavish picnic in the Dara mountains, and rejuvenating yoga and meditation sessions. These experiences are designed to forge a profound connection with the environment and your inner self, all within a backdrop of serene luxury.
Qayaam Gah’s commitment to sustainable luxury is evident in every detail. The use of local materials, eco-friendly practices, and organic produce reflects a dedication to environmental stewardship. From natural bath amenities in refillable ceramic jars to lush, meticulously maintained gardens, every aspect of the retreat embodies a harmonious blend of luxury and responsibility.
Qayaam Gah curates moments of mystique, with spiritual tranquility and opulent comfort that converge amidst the peerless perfection of Kashmir.
