About Pahalgam

Why travellers keep returning here

The Valley of Shepherds lies along the rushing Lidder river at 2,130 m, one of Kashmir’s most relaxed bases. Around it are four distinct valleys — pine-clad Betaab, the open meadows of Aru, the snow bridge of Chandanwari, and Baisaran, the “Mini Switzerland” reached by pony ride.

April to October when the valleys are green; autumn brings golden colour and fewer crowds.
