I recently had the pleasure of staying at Countryside Cottage in Tangmarg, under the Gulmarg region, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional!
From the very start, Khalid, our host, ensured we felt welcomed and taken care of. He provided a pick-up in a Toyota Innova at a very affordable price and even carried our luggage to our room. The hospitality was truly top-notch, with a warm welcome and attentive care throughout our stay.
The cottage itself is surrounded by stunning views of apple orchards, which we got to explore with Khalid's guidance. He explained the different varieties of apples and let us sample them, which was a delightful experience. We also enjoyed a delicious biryani that truly tantalized our taste buds and traditional Kashmiri Kahwa, a type of tea that was simply perfect.
One of the unique features of the cottage is the "Hamam", A stone that heats the floor, making it wonderfully warm and cozy. The comfort level was outstanding with extra bedding and pillows provided.
Even the breakfast the next morning was fantastic, with a classic omelette, bread, and Kashmiri chai.
Overall, this stay was a five-star experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Khalid, for the exceptional hospitality!
