Live Like a Local. Discover Kashmir Through Its People, Homes, and Heart
Kashmir isn’t just a place you visit — it’s a feeling that lingers long after you leave. The snow-draped peaks, shimmering lakes, and lush meadows are mesmerising, but the real beauty of Kashmir lies in its people — their warmth, traditions, and way of life. To truly experience the Valley, you must live like a local — in their homes, share their meals, and listen to their stories under a star-lit sky.
This is where My Home in Kashmir, in partnership with Kashmir Trails, transforms travel into something personal, soulful, and unforgettable.
Step Inside a Kashmiri Home
Imagine waking up to the smell of freshly baked girda bread and the soft murmur of the Jhelum flowing nearby. At a My Home in Kashmir homestay, every stay feels like family. Hosts welcome you with open arms, eager to share their culture — from making kahwa the traditional way to teaching you how to wrap a pheran for the chilly evenings.
Unlike hotels, these stays let you belong — offering not just comfort, but connection. You’re not a tourist; you’re part of the home. Explore their Homestays page to see curated locations.
The People Behind the Paradise
Kashmir’s charm lies in its simplicity. Whether it’s an artisan weaving a Pashmina shawl in Srinagar, a farmer in Pahalgam tending saffron fields, or children playing by the Lidder River — every encounter adds depth to your journey.
Kashmir Trails curates experiences that go beyond sightseeing — guided village walks, visits to traditional bakeries (kandurwans), and storytelling sessions with local elders who keep centuries of history alive. Check out their home page to start your custom itinerary.
Together with My Home in Kashmir, you get to live amid these stories — not as an observer, but as a participant.
A Taste of True Kashmiri Life
Food is at the heart of Kashmiri culture. During your stay, you might share a wazwan meal served on a single platter, learn to make haak saag with a host family, or sip noon chai by a crackling fire.
Each dish isn’t just about flavour — it’s about legacy. These meals tell stories of celebration, faith, and family — the essence of the Kashmiri heart.
Adventures That Feel Personal
From trekking through Gurez Valley to exploring the meadows of Yousmarg or paddling across Dal Lake at dawn, Kashmir Trails ensures every adventure is rooted in authenticity. Their blog and adventures section give you plenty of inspiration.
And with My Home in Kashmir, your journey doesn’t end when the day does — it continues in homes that echo the sounds and smiles of the places you’ve explored. Each stay becomes a reflection of your day’s story.
Why Live Like a Local?
Because travel should change you. When you share a laugh with your host, help a farmer gather apples, or watch a craftsman weave your name into a shawl — you carry back memories that no photograph can capture.
Kashmir becomes not just a postcard view, but a chapter of your own story.
The My Home in Kashmir Promise
My Home in Kashmir isn’t just about accommodation — it’s about immersion. Every homestay is hand-picked for authenticity, safety, and comfort. Whether it’s a riverside cottage or a hillside home in a remote valley, each space offers the perfect blend of warmth and wonder. See the full list of homestays here.
And when paired with Kashmir Trails, your trip is seamless — travel, stay, and experience all curated with care.
