Nestled at 2,130 m along the Lidder River, Pahalgam is Kashmir’s most loved hill resort and the gateway to the Amarnath Yatra. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, thick pine forests, and endless meadows, it combines postcard-perfect beauty with every facility a traveller could need. Whether you’re here for adventure, pilgrimage, or pure relaxation, Pahalgam delivers.
It’s the classic Bollywood location (Betaab, Haider, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and dozens more were shot here). Yet despite the fame, the town still retains its charm: horses grazing on green banks, the gushing Lidder, and the scent of pine in the air.
Named after Sunny Deol’s movie “Betaab”. A flat, lush meadow encircled by mountains and the Lidder River. Perfect for picnics and Instagram.
11 km from Pahalgam town. Quieter and greener than Betaab. Base for treks to Kolahoi Glacier and Tarsar-Marsar lakes.
Starting point of the holy Amarnath Yatra (16 km from Pahalgam). Snow bridges even in summer and stunning mountain views.
5 km from town centre. A gentle pony ride or 1-hour walk through pine forests opens up to a huge meadow with 360° mountain views.
Stroll along the riverbank in Pahalgam town — lined with shops, cafés, and colourful Kashmiri willow bats.
A 12th-century stone temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, just 1 km from town on the opposite bank.
Pahalgam is where Kashmir’s beauty is concentrated into one postcard-perfect valley. Whether you spend your days sipping kahwa by the river, galloping across Baisaran on horseback, or trekking to an alpine lake, this is the place that turns first-time visitors into lifelong Kashmir lovers.
Pro tip: Stay at least 2–3 nights — one day is never enough.
