The Khyber Himalayan Resort & Spa, Gulmarg, proudly welcomes Pankaj Kumar as their new Associate Director F&B Service. With over 13 years of experience in the hospitality industry, Pankaj brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to his role in enhancing guest experiences at India’s FIRST luxury ski-resort in the Himalayas.

Having worked with esteemed brands like Marriott, Taj Group of Hotels, and Jehan Numa Retreat, Pankaj's expertise spans various facets of F&B operations, training, and revenue management. His diverse background positions him perfectly to collaborate with the F&B leadership at The Khyber, Gulmarg, focusing on maximizing revenue, providing top-notch training, and elevating the overall dining experience for guests.

Situated amidst the breathtaking Pir Panjal range of the Himalayas at an elevation of 8,825 ft., The Khyber Himalayan Resort & Spa offers a truly unique setting spread over seven acres in a pristine pine valley. Boasting 85 luxurious rooms with stunning views of the snow-capped Affarwat peaks, the resort also features The Khyber Spa by L’OCCITANE, providing guests with luxurious spa treatments inspired by the rituals of Provence, France.

Committed to delivering impeccable service and warm hospitality, The Khyber has earned numerous accolades since its launch in December 2012. Its strategic location, just a 10-minute walk from the world’s highest Golf Course and in close proximity to Gulmarg’s famed Gondola, makes it a premier destination for ski enthusiasts.

Pankaj Kumar's appointment marks yet another milestone for The Khyber Himalayan Resort & Spa as it continues to set benchmarks in luxury hospitality in the heart of the Himalayas.
