The Founder Story

Kashmir, often called "Paradise on Earth," attracts millions of visitors every year. But finding a reliable, government-verified hotel, houseboat, or travel agency has always been a challenge for tourists. The market is full of unregistered operators, fake listings, and businesses with no accountability. Kashmir Stay (kashmirstay.in) was founded in 2025 to solve exactly that problem.

Kashmir Stay is Kashmir's most trusted online travel directory — connecting tourists with government-verified hotels, resorts, houseboats, and travel agencies across Jammu & Kashmir. Kashmir Stay is purely a listing and directory platform. It is NOT a travel agency, tour operator, or hotel booking platform.

Who We Are

Kashmir Stay was founded in 2025 with a simple mission: make it easier for tourists to find trustworthy, government-verified travel businesses across Jammu & Kashmir. Every listing on the platform represents a real business operating in Kashmir — verified through government records, business licenses, and tourism department registrations.

Kashmir Stay provides a centralized, easy-to-browse directory of verified businesses across Kashmir. Once you find a business you like, you contact them directly — Kashmir Stay does not handle bookings, payments, or reservations.

What Kashmir Stay Does

1. Government-Verified Business Listings

Every business on Kashmir Stay goes through a verification process to ensure they are legally registered and recognized by the Jammu & Kashmir Tourism Department or other relevant authorities. Verification covers:

2. Detailed Business Profiles

Each listing includes the business name, type, and location; contact information (phone, WhatsApp, email, website); services offered; photos and gallery; customer reviews and star ratings; and business operating hours.

3. Direct Communication — No Middleman

Tourists contact businesses directly via Call, WhatsApp, or website. There are no platform fees, no commission markups, and no hidden charges. All bookings, payments, and service agreements are strictly between the tourist and the listed business.

How It Works

For Tourists

Browse listings by location or category, read reviews from real tourists, contact the business directly via Call or WhatsApp, negotiate pricing and book directly, then leave a review after your trip to help other travelers.

For Businesses

Tourism businesses in J&K can create a free listing on Kashmir Stay, submit documents for verification, get discovered by thousands of tourists, manage customer reviews, and optionally upgrade to a Premium plan for spotlight placement, priority listing, and analytics.
