Betaab Valley
Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir
The deodar-ringed meadow on the Lidder that Bollywood named — lawns, snow-peak frames and river islets on the Chandanwari road.
Baisaran Meadow (Mini Switzerland)
Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir
A pine-fenced bowl of turf above Pahalgam reached by pony trail — zorbing, picnics and Lidder-valley views that earned the Swiss nickname.
Chandanwari & Sheshnag Lake
Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir
The Amarnath Yatra's first snow-bridge camp and, a day's climb above, the seven-peaked emerald lake of the serpent king at 3,590 m.
Lidder River Rafting, Pahalgam
Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir
Grade II–III snowmelt runs down the Lidder's boulder gardens — short, cold, gloriously scenic white water between pine walls.
Pahalgam
Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir
The 'valley of shepherds' where the Lidder river tumbles ice-blue past pine forests, pony trails climb to Baisaran's meadow ('mini Switzerland'), and the Amarnath Yatra begins — Kashmir at its most cinematic and serene.
Aru Valley
Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir
A hamlet-in-a-meadow up the Lidder's west fork — trailhead for Kolahoi glacier and Tarsar-Marsar, all pony bells, shepherd huts and towering green walls.
Kolahoi Glacier Trek
Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir
The 'goddess of light' — Kashmir's Matterhorn (5,425 m) and its shrinking glacier snout, reached by a two-day valley walk from Aru via Lidderwat.
Amarnath Cave Shrine
Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir
The 3,888-m cave of the naturally forming ice Shivalinga, waxing and waning with the moon — goal of one of Hinduism's greatest high-altitude pilgrimages.
Tarsar Marsar Trek
Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir
Twin almond-shaped alpine lakes at 4,000 m joined by a ridge crossing — many trekkers' pick as India's prettiest moderate trek, out of Aru.
