You'll be staying with Rafiq

Rafiq was born on this lane. For forty years, the register at Taj House has filled with guests from every corner of India — and well beyond — many of whom come back season after season. He and his family live right here on site, so there is always someone at the gate.

Ask him anything: which ghat to take a shikara from at sunrise, what time to leave for Gulmarg, where locals actually eat, an honest taxi from the airport. “Friendly owner” is the most-repeated phrase in his Google reviews — guests arrive as customers and leave as family friends.

While you're his guest, you're his responsibility. That's how it's done in a Kashmiri home.
