One of the popular hill retreats in the Kashmir Valley, Pahalgam has something special for all. With the beautiful Lidder River running through the town, Pahalgam is surrounded by soaring, fir-covered mountains with bare, snow-capped peaks rising behind them. Once a shepherd village, today Pahalgam has become increasingly popular. From children to adults, nature lovers to adventure enthusiasts, Pahalgam has become one of the choicest holiday destinations.
Don't Miss
Besides offering astounding views of the snow clad Himalayas, Pahalgam offers a range of activities like trekking/ hiking, rafting, horse-riding, golfing and skiing and nature photography. You may want to spend a few days relaxing in nature's lap in Baisaran. The huge meadows surrounded by thickly wooded forests of pine present a beautiful spectacle. Then there is Hajan, a popular picnic spot, on the way to Chandanwari. Hajan is a popular shooting location for the Indian film industry. The hill station of Pahalgam has eight tiny villages inside it. One of the villages is Mamal, which houses an ancient Shiva temple dating back to the 5th century. Chandanwari, 16 km from Pahalgam, serves as the starting point of the Amarnath Yatra.
