Few experiences come close to waking up to a breathtaking view of the mountains from your window. Bringing to life this picturesque imagination is Patnitop, a quaint hill station located in Jammu and Kashmir&rsquos Udhampur district, which is perched atop a plateau, with its dense forests making for an idyllic backdrop to the Chenab flowing nearby. For travellers looking to escape the hustle of city life, Skyview By Empyrean is the place to be. Situated in Sanget valley, on the foothills of Patnitop, with a panoramic view of the Shivalik range, the expansive destination features luxury stays inspired by the culture and heritage of J&K, and allows for a holistic and immersive experience to visitors seeking both comfort and thrill.
Rooms and Suites
With the richness of the state&rsquos craft flowing into its architecture and plush interiors, the luxurious rooms and suites are elegant and warm in equal measure. The unique dome shaped Gondola View Deluxe Rooms with wood panelled walls and floors mimic the ambience of a cozy cabin in the hills. The Mountain View Premium Rooms and Suites with their large picture windows and balconies offer an uninterrupted date with the scenic landscape and dense pine forests through the everchanging seasons. These rooms and suites are equipped with JVD coffee machines and L&rsquoOCCITANE amenities.
