About the Cottage

A quiet cottage where the mountains do the talking

Tulip Cottage sits on Chandanwari Road, opposite Hotel Abshaar, just far enough from the market to be peaceful and just close enough to walk to it. Wake up to deodar-covered slopes, take tea on the lawn, and let our family look after the rest — from hot home-cooked meals to arranging your day trips to Betaab Valley, Aru and Chandanwari.

We came as a family of six and the suite was perfect — kids on one side, grandparents comfortable, everyone warm. The home food was the highlight of our whole Kashmir trip.

Honeymooned here in April. Tea on the lawn every morning with the mountains right there — quiet, romantic, and the hosts treated us like their own.

Ideal location on Chandanwari Road — we did Betaab, Aru and Chandanwari as easy day trips. Clean rooms, honest people, fair prices. Booked again for next year.
