Relaxation Adventure Exploration in equal measure at Rah Bagh
Travel Trade Journal|TTJ April 2024
Rah Bagh is a luxury boutique resort and an ode to Kashmir, the brainchild of Nazir and Katherine Rah. Rather than succumbing to the allure of constructing a sprawling hotel with a multitude of rooms, the Rahs opted for a more intimate approach, prioritising quality over quantity. Rah Bagh boasts a modest 41 rooms, each meticulously designed to provide guests with an unparalleled experience of luxury and tranquillity.

Relaxation Adventure Exploration in equal measure at Rah Bagh

Rah Bagh is a scenic new retreat on the outskirts of Srinagar, set against the mighty Himalayas. It sits in the lap of nature and captures the beauty of the Kashmir valley in its entirety. This luxury boutique resort has a distinctive character with its Alpine chalet-style units and cottages set over four acres within an apple orchard, sprawling gardens, and picturesque views of the Dal and Nageen lakes, framed by towering poplars and the Zabarwaan mountains as the backdrop. Rah Bagh offers an authentic escape, eschewing malls and swanky buildings for the serenity of apple orchards, lakes, and mountains.

Luxurious Escapes Amidst Rustic Spaces

For those looking for an ultra-luxury escape with the spectacular vistas of the Dal and Nageen lakes in sight at all times, the Royal Attic Suite at Rah Bagh is the perfect place to be. These chalet-style units have a 12-foot ceiling and wall-towall window, a spacious master bedroom, a separate living area, and expansive balconies that open up to views of the constantly changing landscape of the city and the lakes.

The Garden Cottages, clad in pine with sloping roofs, exude a rustic charm and offer an exclusive and private setting. Each cottage, with its beautifully furnished bedroom, comes with a king-size bed and an ensuite large bath with a Jacuzzi. The private sit-out area allows you to enjoy the vibrant hues of the rose garden, the delightful presence of apple trees, or a captivating view of a cascading waterfall. The newly built Mountain View Cottages are perfect for families with kids who need a bit more space. Also available are Queen and Twin Deluxe Rooms, as well as Garden Suites.
