Pahalgam

95 km east of Srinagar at an altitude of 2,130 metres, Pahalgam is unspoiled by the ravages of progress.On the bank of the beautiful Indus the sleepy hamlet of Pahalgam lies amid the Himalayan Pine forest.
Pahalgam is situated among the soaring mountains, glistening glaciers, gushing silvery streams of ice water and dense pine and cedar forests with soft whistling winds and revitalising air.
The weather in Pahalgam is alpine. Summers (April-June) are mild while winters (November-February) are cold. It experiences rains between July and September. It experiences heavy snowfall from December to February.

It is the base of a tour to the Amarnathji and many trekking routes branching out to the wilderness of the Himalayas. It’s an ideal place for an adventure sports enthusiast. It offers wonderful treks, skiing, mountaineering and camping sites.
