If you want to experience the quiet, untouched side of Kashmir away from mass tourism, these offbeat destinations are perfect additions to your custom tour package.
1. Doodhpathri (Valley of Milk)
Located just 2 hours from Srinagar, Doodhpathri is a vast meadow of lush grass intersected by the Shaliganga River, which flows with such speed that the water looks like frothing milk. It is a peaceful picnic spot without tourist crowds.
2. Yusmarg (The Meadow of Jesus)
Yusmarg is a stunning expanse of pine forests and meadows with the snow-clad peaks of the Pir Panjal range looming in the background. It is a paradise for hikers and horse riders looking for complete peace.
3. Gurez Valley (The Lost Frontier)
Located close to the LOC, Gurez Valley is a remote, breathtaking valley inhabited by the Dardic people. Framed by the towering Habba Khatoon peak and the roaring Kishanganga River, Gurez offers pure, raw mountain beauty and a glimpse into ancient local culture.
