Very nice Italian Dining

I had the most good meal at Brava, the Italian restaurant in Khyber Himalayan Resort. From the warm ambiance to the stunning mountain views, every moment was perfect. The dishes, particularly the Risotto and pasta, were an exquisite fusion of flavors. I can't wait to return for another round of culinary bliss!

Best Pool Experience

The swimming pool at Khyber is a gem! The stunning views of the snow-capped mountains from the pool were amazing. I spent hours relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere, which truly made my stay lovely. It's an absolute must-visit during your time at the resort!

Luxurious Room with a View

Staying in the Himalayan view room at Khyber was a dream come true! The spacious interiors were beautifully decorated, and the view from the balcony left me in awe. I felt completely pampered and at ease in my room, which made my stay even more special.

Winter Sports Paradise

Being able to ski on some of Asia's finest slopes right from Khyber was a thrilling experience! The convenience of access to skiing trails made my holiday a true adventure. I couldn’t have asked for a better winter sports getaway.

My stay at the Khyber was quite memorable, thanks to its stunning views and attentive staff. The location near the gondola and amidst breathtaking pine trees is perfect for enjoying the snowy landscape. The rooms, however, left something to be desired, as ours was on the ground floor and didn't provide the comfort I was hoping for. Dining was another highlight with excellent breakfast options, though dinner was a bit pricey for what it offered.
