About this apartment
Inside the apartment
Getting around
Good to know
I live right next door, so I'm always available if you need anything — whether it's about your stay or help exploring Kashmir. My family and I are happy to assist, and we have a dedicated helper for things like carrying luggage and making sure your stay is comfortable.
We can connect you with reliable taxi drivers for day trips to Gulmarg, Pahalgam, and Sonamarg. You coordinate and deal with the drivers directly — we simply share contacts.
Homemade breakfast — omelette, Kashmiri bread, parathas, and tea. ₹500 per person, served in your apartment after 8 AM. Please let us know a day in advance if you'd like to opt in.
Only breakfast is available, and that too subject to availability — no other in-house meals are served. The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen if you'd like to cook. Swiggy and Zomato both deliver here, and several cafés and restaurants are within walking distance.
We don't provide hotel-style housekeeping services. We encourage guests to maintain a tidy space during their stay. A deep clean with fresh linen can be arranged on request, at a chargeable cost.
The property is inverter-backed. Power cuts are rare and usually under 1–2 hours. Heating appliances won't work during a cut, but lights, WiFi, and charging points stay on.
Smoking is not allowed indoors. You're welcome to use the balcony or outdoor areas.
Maskan is in a peaceful residential area, so please keep noise to a minimum. No parties or events, and quiet hours apply after 10 PM — especially through the night, out of respect for our neighbours.
Bookings from guests with local Kashmiri IDs are strictly not accepted. Only guests who have booked are allowed in the apartment — strictly no visitors of any kind. If you need an exception, please speak to us in advance.
After your booking is confirmed, we'll request a valid government-issued ID for all guests, as required by local regulations. Please note that bookings from guests with local Kashmiri IDs are strictly not accepted.
Subject to availability — please ask in advance.
RFID-controlled main gate, CCTV in common areas and entrances, and a fire extinguisher on the premises. Quiet, secure neighbourhood.

No elevator at Maskan. Gulab sits on the 2nd floor, two short flights up from the main gate. Luggage help is on call.
Windows face the inside of Friends Colony rather than the main road, so traffic and street noise stay low even on busy mornings.
Every piece in Gulab — chairs, tables, beds — is traditional Kashmiri wicker craft, hand-made locally.
