Top 10 places to visit in Kashmir 2023 | Ahanger HOBO
Tumblr media
Ahanger HOBO offers the best Travel Packages & Services throughout the Kashmir Valley, India.
1: Gurez Valley Kashmir:
Tumblr media
Gurez Valley is one of the least explored regions of Kashmir and the one that can truly be called an offbeat destination. It is a place of high scenic beauty that does not really get the attention that it truly deserves. and the natural beauty of the mountains that you see here is very different from what you will see elsewhere. Gurez, also spelled Gurais, is a valley located at a distance of about 154 kilometers from Srinagar. Due to its proximity to the border, tourist movement in the region was not allowed until a few years ago. But now, Indian nationals can travel to Gurez Valley as long as they are carrying valid government-issued identity proof (Aadhar card). Foreign nationals are required to obtain a permit from either Srinagar or Bandipora. The valley is surrounded by snow-capped mountains. It has diverse fauna and wildlife including the Himalayan brown bear and the snow leopard. The Kishanganga River flows through the valley before merging into the Jhelum River near Muzaffarabad. Razdan Pass is the only high-altitude pass between Srinagar and Gurez. Due to heavy snowfall in winter, the road remains blocked for about six months a year. Gurez Valley can be reached by road between April to Sept. The valley is divided into two districts, Dawar and Tilel. Dawar is also the central township in Gurez and this is where all the guest houses and homestays are available also there are no luxury accommodations yet located.
2: Keran Valley Kashmir:
Tumblr media
Keran is a village in Kupwara District. Keran valley got divided into two parts leaving thousands of souls separated from each other. The pain humans face due to the division of the valley can be well understood by their people. Keran is a beautiful border area with the Kishenganga River flowing through it which acts as a line of control between Pakistan and Jammu and Kashmir. The other side of the Kishanganga River is called Neelum Valley and the village located on the opposite side is also called Keran, The ancient Sharada Peeth temple, as well as the adjacent ruins of Sharada University, are situated in the same Neelam Valley just a few miles from Keran. At Sharda village where Sharda temple and University are situated in the river, Kishanganga joins Madhumati and Sargun streams. It was among the most prominent temple universities in the Indian subcontinent. Kashmiri Pandit brethren have been demanding the opening of the Sharda Peeth corridor for many years now. Keran is home to many beauties like streams, springs, rivers, mountains, dense forests including walnut trees, and to a variety of Wildlife. On the way to Keran at Firkiyan top the 360-degree view of the surroundings is mesmerizing and enchanting beauty brings goosebumps. One can witness the lush green forests, Meadows, Streams, and also the architecture of wooden houses. The wooden architecture and style of construction of the house are still standing tall all across the Keran. These precious wooden houses need to be preserved and protected and need to be promoted as heritage sites. The landslide decision of the Government of India to bring border areas like Keran, Gurez, Tangdhar, Machil, and Bangus on the tourism map has brought happiness to the faces of the People of Kashmir. These are the new tourist destinations that will facilitate peace and development in these border areas. Any non-resident traveler, wishing to visit the border areas of Keran, Karnah, and Machil has to obtain permission from District Magistrate Kupwara which is very easy as the interested person need not personally visit any Office but have to get it through online mode. A non-resident traveler can access the portal at http://epass.kupwara.co.in. and register himself/herself. In Kupwara or Kralpora Market, a traveler can hire a vehicle of his choice for Keran or can go in his own car also as conditions of the road from Kralpora to Kupwara is good except few kilometers which are not metallic but motorable. Along with a few government-owned rest houses, there are homestay facilities available for tourists. Camping tents are also available along with all basic facilities. Since the spot has recently been introduced as a tourist destination, a lot is being done to promote tourism in the area by the government particularly the Indian army is always seen giving a helping hand to the local population to lead Keran towards peace and prosperity.
3: Pahalgam Kashmir (The Village of Shepherds):
Tumblr media
One of the most famous and beautiful destinations in all of Kashmir Valley is Pahalgam “the Village of the Shepherds”. It is located 96km (about 3 hours’ drive) from Srinagar. Originally a sleepy wee village of Shepphards (more rumors abound that Jesus passed some time here amongst his flock!) Pahalgam has exquisite scenery of majestic pines, and blossoming high-altitude meadows looking up to snowy peaks and down into beautiful blue rivers. It is possible to enjoy a day trip to this location to get out of noisy Srinagar but the beauty of Pahalgam does not lie around the small bazaar, hotels, and parks of Pahalgam town but in the mountains past Aru. Pahalgam Town The journey from Srinagar itself gives- you a taste of what lies ahead. Noisy congested streets give way to poplars and rice fields, where flashes of color from the pink or green of a woman’s head scarf to the golden grain reflect the sunlight. You know Pahalgam is approaching when you spy the rushing and refreshing Lidder River starting to turn and gurgle. When you hit Pahalgam town, there is quite a noisy bazaar reminiscent of Dal gate selling the usual Kashmiri handicrafts and shawls. If only stay for the day there is a number of parks where you can relax and enjoy a picnic.
4: Gulmarg Kashmir “The Meadow of Flowers”:
Tumblr media
It may be possible to take a tourist map of Kashmir and replace it with a picture of Gulmarg. Gulmarg is the Kashmir valley’s most famous and primary tourist destination, especially in the winter when the temperature is low and the snow is soft and powdery. Gulmarg is the location for all the adventure activities from skiing, heli-skiing, and snowboarding, to high-altitude golf, trekking, and riding the world-famous gondola. Gulmarg is an open meadow surrounded by lovely thick pine forests and in the spring the grassy slopes are covered with wildflowers, bluebells, daisies, forget-me-nots, and butter cups. Gulmarg lies under the majestic Mount Apharwat (4511m) in the northeast of the Pir-Panjal range about 55 km from Srinagar. The beautiful valley of Gulmarg is about 3km in length (meaning you can easily walk to most places), crescent-shaped, and just less than 1km wide. The drive to Gulmarg itself is beautiful, passing through avenues of poplar trees and rice fields until you begin your steep ascent through majestic pines. Gulmarg can be enjoyed on a day trip with a picnic and a ride in the gondola. Or come here to relax and ski, and with the opening of the second phase of the gondola in 2005, it is now a world-class destination for skiers of all abilities. Others come to hike from Gulmarg to other lush locations in the Kashmir valley such as the famous and most beautiful meadow of Tosamaidan. When both stages of the gondola are operational you can journey up to the Apharwat station for amazing views and photo opportunities of the valley and the Kishtwar and Himalayan ranges. The French firm Poma designed the gondola and at 12992ft is considered the highest in the world. The beauty of all the white snow piling up around the trees and hills is a beautiful sight and should not be missed if you are in Kashmir in the winter.
5: Verinag Kashmir:
Tumblr media
Lying at the north-western foot of the Banihal pass is Verinag, the largest spring in Kashmir (78kms from Srinagar), which is said to never dry up or overflow. It lies in a beautiful and peaceful garden with an octagonal pool in the middle, which Emperor Jehangir had converted from a circle to fit with the Mughal style. It is said he would rest here for weeks after crossing the Pir Panjal from Punjab. And it is indeed a place to relax and enjoy, the most perfect picnic spot in the Kashmir Valley. The pool which emits a clear sparkling stream is said to be Nila Nag the son of Kashyap Reshi, who was made King of the Kashmiri Nagas (nag snake worshippers). There are beautiful carvings of stones in Persian on the walls surrounding the spring telling how this great source of underwater spring is contained. There are guest houses here and also a tourist bungalow in which you can pass a relaxing night, before returning to Srinagar or continuing back over the Pir Panjal to Jammu. There is a Shaivite shrine located just outside the complex that draws pilgrims every year who come for a ritual dip on the first day of the year according to the Hindu lunar calendar. Verinag is also said to be the source of the Jhelum River, the blood that flows through Kashmir’s body. To reach Verinag, first, you must take shared sumo from the Dalgate petrol pump to Anantnag (Islamabad) from the jeep stand here take another car to Verinag.
6: Sonmarg "The Meadow of Gold":
Tumblr media
Sonamarg the Meadow of Gold and is located 84 km from Srinagar. Sonamarg can either be reached by road or by trekking from Pahalgam. By road, Sonamarg is the last stop with tea houses, accommodations, and restaurants before you cross the Zoji-La and enter Ladakh. Sonamarg is Kashmir's most famous meadow, named for the time when, under the afternoon sunlight, the meadow turns to gold. The slopes and meadows are layered with mountain flowers, and the surrounding forests are thick with firs, sycamore, and birch, creating that sumptuous mountain aroma! Today the main bazaar of Sonamarg, like Pahalgam, has become crowded by opportunism. So please venture beyond the main road and let yourself dive into the magical mountain surroundings. If just visiting for the day there are a few activities you can explore. Pony rides and picnics are most popular with the locals. You can also try trout fishing for INR50 per fish. The best thing to do on a day trip is to walk to Thajiwas, 1/1.5 hours walk from the main bazaar, you can also take a taxi halfway and then a horse. Thajiwas is a small and lovely side valley and is located at the foot of the Sonamarg glacier. It is an amazing location, for at least five glaciers come cascading down the mountains to meet at this point! If you would like to stay the night and enjoy the mountain peaks and glaciers, there is a tourist hut and also an awesome camping ground. Another longer, walk, would be to Baltal, which is a base camp for the Amarnath Yatra. It is located 15km north of Sonamarg and is a small lovely valley at the base of Zoji La, you can make the walk but it is also possible to drive. You can camp here next to the bank of the river. If you are lucky, you will spot Gujjars and their herd being dwarfed by the snow-covered peaks, also by groves of fir and poplar trees. The Sonamarg meadow used to be a popular grazing ground for the Gujjar cattle herders, unfortunately, use and development have rendered it unsuitable for grazing their livestock anymore. Note that Sonamarg is another great starting point for exciting mountain treks. You can reach Sonamarg by SRTC Bus leaving at 8:30 am every morning during the tourist season. The 'deluxe 19-seater is INR351 and the 'high-tech' 36-seater is INR271. There are no real budget hotels in Sonamarg during the summer season, everything is priced at INR 4000 and above. If you have a tent a good option is to camp at the Thajiwas glacier camping ground.
7: Tulip Garden Srinagar Kashmir:
Tumblr media

It is the largest tulip garden in the Asia continent and has spread over an area of about 74 acres of land. It is situated under the foot side of the Zabarwan range of mountains, built on a sloping ground in a terraced fashion consisting of seven terraces if you manage to go up, then you would be able to see the Dal Lake view.

8: Doodhpathri Kashmir:
Tumblr media
Doodhpathri is known as the Valley of Milk. Doodhpathri is a tourist destination and a hill station in Kashmir. It is located in Khansahib area of budgam of Jammu and Kashmir. Situated at an altitude of 2,730 meters (8,960 ft) from sea level, it is located at a distance of 50 km from Srinagar.
The road to Doodhpathri from Srinagar is quite pleasant. Your journey to be quite beautiful with stunning landscapes on the way. The natural beauty of the place is absolutely mesmerizing. The lush green meadows have such a velvety appearance that you will feel like walking barefoot on the green grass. The place is surrounded by tall conifers. The snow-capped mountain range looms in the background at one side. The air is cool and simply breathtaking. This is a place where time seems to have stopped! There was once a famous Kashmiri saint Sheikh Noor din Noorani who had come to this place to pray. He wanted to pray and was looking for water in the meadows. He used his stick to prick the ground in search of water. And instead of water, milk comes gushing out. Sheikh Noorani, however, did not want to use the milk to wash his hands and feet. He thought that the milk was to be used for drinking purposes only. So by divine provenance, the milk again changed back to water! And the meadows got its name “Doodhpathri.
This place also has an interesting tale behind it. However, the name Doodhpathri perhaps came from the gushing river that flows in the valley. The fast-flowing water when strikes against the stones give a milky appearance. This could have been the reason why this place is known as Doodhpathri. After all, the name literally translates into the “Valley of Milk” Doodh means milk and Pathri means valley. The tourists visiting Kashmir usually travel to Pahalgam, Gulmarg, and Sonmarg on their first visit. Not many tourists visit here. The majority of the people visiting there are mostly Kashmiri locals going there for picnics. However, you can include this place in your itinerary if you want to explore a bit of offbeat Kashmir.
9: Naranag Kashmir:
Tumblr media
This village can be the base camp for trekking to Gangbal Lake or to summit Mt Harmoukh. Visiting this village and its surroundings in itself is beautiful and it is possible to either camp here for the night or stay the night with the local villagers. It is also a base for the treks to Gadsar, Vishansar, and Krishansar lakes, although these require more time around 5 to 7 days of walking. The drive to Naranag from Srinagar (2.5 hours) is gorgeous and as you ascend through the valleys and see the flashes of tin roofs, baby mosques, signs of simple village life, and verdant green, you will be glad you took the opportunity! If you drive through the afternoon as the sun is on its descent, the whole world turns a warm bronzy gold, which is just champagne for a photographer or videographer. Naranag is a popular tourist destination for its proximity and ease from Srinagar, its luscious surroundings, and the mysterious ruins of a large Hindu temple.
10: Old City Srinagar:
Tumblr media
The Old City of Srinagar must be visited before you can even get a glimpse into what traditional Kashmiri life must have been like. The old town is situated around the river Jhelum and can be divided into sections along with its famous bridges. Before the Islamic rulers came, there were no bridges in the old city, small boats were moored at either side to provide cross-river water transportation. The people of the old city are inquisitive and kind, you will be stared upon, approached, and usually invited in for chai, “chai chakha/chai pyoo”. The sights of the old city are many and varied.
There are two ways to discover the old city, by land or by sea, if you have enough time, it is suggested you experience both! You can take a Shikara or motorboat from Dal Lake, Nageen Lake, or the Bund behind Lal Chowk. Prices will be negotiable, anywhere from INR800 up, entirely depending on the season, the distance, time, and the temperament of the Shikara wallah. Shikara wallahs can also provide lunch, tea, snacks, and other items if you so desire. Seeing the old city by the water, you can really get a feeling of the geography, as well as the former glory of Srinagar. The first thing you will notice is that the Kashmiris are people of the water as much as they are people of the mountains. Their lives were and still are shaped by the bends of the river, the Jhelum particularly has been a place of agriculture, trade, worship, life, and death. You will get to see how the old city of Srinagar has been situated around the river Jhelum, with bridges spanning the river at intervals and connecting the two sides, and how many of the old temples and shrines are located right on the banks. You will see glimpses of former magnificent houses of wood and mud and official buildings constructed by the Mughal rulers bordering the river and begin to understand how much of the body of Srinagar was run by the blood of the Jhelum. There are a few ways to reach the old city on foot. You can enter from the Dal Lake by walking straight through Khayam (take the Dal Gate bridge and walk away from the bazaar and the Boulevard) and just keep walking (you can also take the bus from the Dal Gate bridge heading away from the Bazaar). You can take a rickshaw from Dal and get dropped at Habba Kadal (approx INR50) and move from there. A third and most interesting walk is to start from near the Mahkdom Sahib Shrine and wander down the streets just under, where there lives a collection of folks who have made their homes in this place.
The best way to approach navigation of the old city is either to follow the river as much as you can and Crisscross the bridges at your fancy or turn into the city and enter into the alleyways and simply get lost. Inside you will discover the trades, products, food, and architecture of old.

Lolab Valley, Gurez Valley, and Bangus Meadow by Ahanger HOBO
Tumblr media
Lolab Valley
At present, the Lolab Valley is still a new tourist area. The wide oval-shaped valley, blessed with lush forests and streams lies in the northwest corner of the Jammu and Kashmir state, 114 km (about 70.84 mi) from Srinagar. It is a magnificent area full of trees that stretch low down into the plain; the villages grow delicious apple, pear, and walnut trees. It is said that the prettiest girls in Kashmir come from this Valley. Besides its natural geographic beauty, the Lolab valley is famous for the centuries-old Kalaroos caves and Satbaran monument (seven doors of carved stones). It has been discovered that some finds at the cave site indicate that the area must have been an important Buddhist or early Hindu pilgrim site.
At present, there are moves to carbon date the site to discover its age and establish its links with other archaeological finds in the region. Locals believe that a tunnel through a cave in Kalaroos leads to some Central Asian countries, saying that the first two kilometers of the tunnel can even be covered on foot. As of October 2012, the Government has decided to market these caves for attracting tourists, the government has also suggested that it will act responsibly in this particularly fragile area and promote “eco-friendly” activities like homestays, fishing, and trekking, as from here it is possible to complete a trek to the famous Wular Lake. Located west of the Lolab Valley, in the northern mountain region of Kashmir is the extensive and beautiful meadow of Bangus, which has the potential to be the next Gulmarg. Now located near the Line of Control in Kupwara, it is opined that this place will also open to tourists soon. To reach Lolab you first take shared sumo or bus to Kupwara from the JVC Bus stand, and from there you can make your way to Lolab by private taxi, or with the locals.
Gurez and Tulail Valleys
The Gurez Valley, the northern frontier of Kashmir, is located not 15kms (about 9.32 mi) from the Line of Control with Pakistan and is the last post of Kashmiri culture/first post of Baltic culture before you can travel no further on your Indian Visa. To access Gurez you must get a permit (at no charge) from the Banidpora Police Station. Forms for the permit are available in the main Bazaar from all Photostat Shops and require a passport-sized photo. To reach Gurez (123 km (about 76.43 mi) from Srinagar) you must first travel to Bandipora by taxi or bus from the JVC Taxi Stand. You can either stay the night in Bandipora, there is one guest house located above the Kashmiri Wazwan Restaurant in the main bazaar or push to Gurez. Taxis for Gurez leave with some frequency from the main bus stand which is a small dust block about 2 km before the main bazaar. The journey to Gurez will take you straight up. It is a slow wind through the pine trees Overlooking Bandipora town. You will then pass through many army cantonments. With some of the most magnificent views. You will be stopped here maybe more than once for identification and purpose enquires. The Gurez Valley itself is spacious and open, about 2 km across, surrounded by lovely peaks, and at the base of the valley is situated the very charismatic Habba Khaton mountain glowing almost purple all the while calling you to come and visit it! Dawar is the name of the main village and is easy to negotiate as it has one street running through the center of the valley. There is a very comfortable tourist bungalow to stay in with basic cooking facilities, a restaurant serving veg and non-veg, tea stalls, and a bazaar with basic vegetables and packaged goods. Potatoes are the staple food of the Gurezi’s.
Gurez is important historically because it was the ancient Dardish capital. The Dards are the Indo-Aryans that came from the north and settled in the Kargil/Kashmir region (there is more on the Dards in the Kargil section) and could arguably be the original inhabitants of the region The Gurezi still speak Shina which is the language spoken in the now Pakistani controlled areas of Gilgit and Baltistan. The people of Gurez have a mixture of Kashmiri and Balti cultures running through their land. Kashmir, being the major center of the region for so many hundreds of years, has not failed to leave its mark. Yet in Dawar Village the faces start to resemble more of their Northern neighbors of Baltistan. The road to Gilgit runs from Gurez, and the valley falls along the ancient Silk Route, which connected the Kashmir Valley with Gilgit, before continuing further to Kasgar. Archaeological surveys in valleys north of Gurez have uncovered carved inscriptions in Kharoshthi, Brahmiand Tibetan. Kharosthi is anancient Indic script used by the Gandhara (Buddhist) culture of ancient Northwest South Asia (modern-day Afghanistan and Pakistan). These carvings provide a wonderful insight into the history of Tibetan Buddhism which was an early religion of the region and into the ancient Kashmiri people. The main river that flows through the Gurez Valley is the Kishen ganga. And for all those who like scenic fishing, there is a wealth of fish (snow trout, brown trout, rainbow trout, shuddgum) to be discovered under this rushing river. Whereas still beautiful with a wealth of small hikes and stunning scenery to enjoy, the Gurez Valley itself has become victim to modern infrastructure incursions, therefore the Tulail Valley (located further along the road) with its rugged villages and village faces, is another stunning worthwhile excursion while you are in the area. Either catch sumo from Dawar Bazaar or hitch a lift, the mountain road is bumpy, so hold on! Here you will again travel through amazing mountainous Country and pass through villages straddling the mountains and the river. You can travel just shy of the border in over an hour and work your way back. You will be the only people traveling by the mighty Kishenganga exploring small Muslim villages on the mountainside, with their variety of faces, changing once again from the more European Kashmiri looks to the Central Asian Balti tribes. Witness another piece of the puzzle in South Asian human migration and expansion fall into place.
A trip to Gurez is worth your time for those who desire to explore the different cultures and lifestyles of the Kashmir region, which remains sun distracted by tourists and opportunism. These people are well-educated thanks to an army goodwill program, and not cut off from modernity as Gurez holds the special title of more army to civilians in any civilian settlement in the world.
