PAHALGAM

Nestled in Kashmir’s peaks, Pahalgam, the “Valley of Shepherds,” enchants with lush meadows, scenic landscapes, and the tranquil Lidder River, earning its reputation as a true paradise, “Heaven on Earth.”

Pahalgam: A Breathtaking Retreat and Adventure Gateway

Perched at 2,740 meters in Jammu & Kashmir’s Anantnag district, Pahalgam is a picturesque hill station and a sought-after tourist destination. Nestled along the banks of the Lidder River, it is renowned for adventure activities such as hiking, trekking, and fishing.

Pahalgam also serves as the starting point for the revered Amarnath Yatra, with Chandanwari, 16.6 km away, acting as its official base camp. The Kolhoi Glacier trek, passing through the scenic Aru village, is among the most popular in the region. Visitors can also experience sledging on frozen glaciers, while the river’s long stretches offer an ideal spot for trout fishing.

Additionally, Pahalgam holds a special place in Bollywood history, as the famous movie Betaab, starring Sunny Deol and Amrita Singh, was filmed here—leading to the valley being named Betaab Valley in its honor.
