Pahalgam

A quaint little village nestled on the banks of the river Lidder; Pahalgam is an idyllic resort, with surroundings, ideal for relaxation and leisure, in the true spirit of a traditional hill-station holiday. Set amidst fir and pine covered mountains; Pahalgam is renowned for its natural beauty and has a golf course at 2400 meters.
Situated at the confluences of the Lidder and Sheshnag streams, this place is an anglers delight and even an amateur can catch a rainbow trout from the rushing streams. The base for several treks in the region and the cave-shrine of Amarnath, camping equipment, ponies and skiing equipment is readily available. Kolahoi is a popular destination via Aru a charming meadow.
