A day Excursion to Pahalgam –the valley of shepherds

Popularly Known as the valley of shepherds, Pahalgam is almost 95 km from Srinagar. The small hamlet offers stunning views of highland pastures engulfing thickly-wooded pine woods and Himalayan ranges adorned with snow. The confluence of Lidder River along with the Sheshnag Lake is a significant leisure place for tourists and a perfect picnic place. The Pahalgam into Chandanwati route is popular to go into the world-famous Amarnath caves.

You should rent a bike where It would be very convenient for you to have a hassle-free trip where you are able to keep drifting and exploring all the broader choices you can also cease for Food / Water whenever or wherever you want, the whole highway is dotted with restaurants and Dhabas at regular intervals. All gasoline pumps are equipped with all well maintained public convenience. They are accessible and around Srinagar, Pahalgam, and Gulmarg. The highway is sprinkled with a variety of smaller towns where fuel is available. Bike mechanics are available only in the bigger towns".

It takes around 4 to 5 hours to reach Pahalgam out of Srinagar city. You'll pass many military schools And training reasons initially, but as soon as you take a twist and see that the Lidder river the scenery gets mesmerizing with every passing frame.

You can take a one-day trip to Pahalgam or stay overnight. I Would really advise you to spend three days there to explore and breathe the area in. The same as in Gulmarg, the vehicle needs to be abandoned in the parking space, and the mountain station can be explored on foot or on a pony.

 

Lidder River

The river Lidder is regarded as one of the most famous areas for angling and trout fishing. The section of fisheries supervises the angling to maintain the ecological balance of the species through scientific measures. Anglers can buy or hire the fishing gear like a rod, reel, flies, net basket or long boots in the stores at Polo watch lane, near the Bund Srinagar. The Phillies may also be ordered from the fisheries department or the angler stores.

In order to indulge in fishing in Pahalgam, tourists have to obtain a fishing permit in the Department of fisheries in Srinagar. In case you have taken a bullet rent, it is possible to ask the proprietor to assist you to obtain the permit. The months of April to September are the best time for fishing.

Betaab Valley

For all the Bollywood buffs, Betaab Valley needs no introduction; it's where Sunny Deol and Amrita Rao danced at the meadows and rode horses.

The walnut trees, the curving river cutting through the hills and massive spots of meadows, makes your entire existence, in that very minute, surreal.

Gibran Valley

Then you'll find a means to Gibran Valley. It's anticipated it to be a replica of the Betaab Valley. The path was transforming itself into a hi-fantasy movie like Narnia, where you'll find the narrow brownish path in which different colors of green bud is covered with yellow, white and pale purple flowers. The vastness of this meadow surrounded by thick pine trees at one end, along with the profound temperate valley on the other.
