For Under INR 1,200 Per Night, Enjoy A Laid-Back Vacay At This Cosy Srinagar Villa

We found a charming villa with rustic vibes and cosy rooms nestled amidst the serene hills of Srinagar. If you’re one those people who look forward to laid-back, lazy vacays, then the stunning Hillscape Inn is probably the homestay of your dreams.

Srinagar is a city blessed with majestic mountains and picturesque lakes that are best viewed between the months of June to October. Since it does not receive as much rain as the rest of the country, the climate here is moderately pleasant for you to explore the city or even stay indoors with a comforting cup of coffee and a blanket.

If just like us, you prefer lazing around during vacations, the Hillscape Inn located on the foothill of the Zabarwan range will help you unwind at your own pace. This Airbnb overlooking the famous Dal Lake is surrounded by trees and open gardens on all sides. It has a pastoral charm and a chalet-like vibe with cosy wooden interiors that would make you want to stay indoors all day.

This villa is the kind of escape we need from our mundane city lives to relax and stop letting e-mail notifications and alarms govern our day. It’s the perfect place to meditate, read a book in the pleasant open air, hog on homecooked authentic Kashmiri meals, take a stroll by the serene lake or just watch the days pass by.

If the thought of not receiving emails and not checking your Instagram feed terrifies you, you need not worry because this Airbnb provides free 24×7 WiFi . And if you can’t stay away from your pet for too long, you can bring them too to this side of hills.

Also, the housekeepers are more than happy to cook for you but if you want to cook for yourself, there’s a fully stocked kitchen too where you can unleash your inner Gordan Ramsay. Home-cooked meals with a game of UNO in this villa’s stunning drawing room already sounds like a happy memory that anyone would cherish.

In case you’re planning to venture out, we certainly recommend places like Pahalgam and Gulmarg where you can see snow {maybe}. Between August to October, you’ll also find Apple orchards beginning to bloom and there are only a few sights better than lush green orchards. Do take a gondola ride on the Dal Lake or you can even spend a night on the lake in one of the tastefully decorated houseboats.

With a decent rate of INR 2,244 per night for two {dutch it, yay!}, this homestay is a piece of heaven if you’ve been wanting to escape the city for too long now.
