These Chalets In Srinagar Sit On An Apple Orchard And Offer Stunning Views Of The Dal Lake

Called the Switzerland of India and surrounded by apple orchards and milky white snow, Srinagar is a paradise to unwind into. Jammu and Kashmir’s beauty is perennial and promises to leave you feeling heavenly every time you visit it. 

The traditional shikaras floating on the Dal lake give Srinagar its identity. No wonder, all the Bollywood classics of the 70s and 90s and even of the present age are filmed in picturesque Srinagar. Needless to say, the heavenly city has been the subject of numerous poems and love stories. The spring blossoms like a land of vibrant flowers, and autumn colours the state in all hues of orange and brown.

The intricacies and thoughtful curation of the rooms will want you to make it your second home. The luxe hotel has 33 rooms to offer you. The modern wooden architecture and the traditional small precisions make it superbly charming. The rooms are built from locally quarried granite, native cedar wood and classic Kashmiri brickwork for a warm and peaceful space. The distinctive character makes Rah Bagh stand alone from the crowd. 

You can opt to stay at the Royal Attic Suite for a view overlooking the Dal and Nageen Lake. The suites are built in chalet style with a 12-feet high ceiling and a wall-to-wall glass window doing justice to the majestic scenery of the Zabarwan range. The suite offers a spacious king-size master bedroom, a living room and a private balcony which opens to the lush greens.

Other than this, you can also choose to rejuvenate in the Garden Suite, Queen and Twin Deluxe rooms.
