Pahalgam

Pahalgam, known as the “Valley of Shepherds,” is a charming town located at the confluence of the Lidder River and Sheshnag Lake. It’s a popular base for trekkers heading to the famous Amarnath Cave, but it also offers much more for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty. The lush green meadows, dense pine forests, and crystal-clear rivers make Pahalgam an ideal spot for picnicking, fishing, and exploring nature. Key attractions include Betaab Valley, named after a famous Bollywood movie, Aru Valley, a picturesque village surrounded by stunning landscapes, and Baisaran, often called “Mini Switzerland” for its rolling green meadows. Pahalgam is also a hub for adventure activities like trekking, camping, and river rafting.
