Kashmir’s Quiet Corners: The Rising Appeal of Its Less-Explored Landscapes
When the valleys of Kashmir are mentioned, Pahalgam is the first name that comes to mind. However, the beauty of Kashmir is not limited to Pahalgam alone. There are many places here that, with their natural beauty, serene atmosphere, and heart-touching views, feel like paradise. Let's learn about some such places.
Kashmir is not called "heaven on earth" for nothing. Its valleys, lakes, snow-capped mountains, and tranquil surroundings attract everyone. Names like Pahalgam, Gulmarg, and Dal Lake are often heard, but the beauty of Kashmir is not limited to these.

Sonamarg
The meaning of Sonamarg is "Land of Gold." This place is captivating with its snow-capped peaks and lush green fields. Trekking to the Thajwas Glacier and lakes is a major attraction.
Dal Lake, Srinagar
Dal Lake is basically Kashmir. Shikara rides, houseboats, and floating markets add to the uniqueness of this lake. At sunset, it gives the appearance that gold has been sprinkled in water. The Mughal Gardens and Nishat Bagh are located on the banks of this lake.
Yusmarg
About 50 km from Srinagar, a quiet and beautiful natural place called Yusmarg, with its pine forests, sheep grazing on the hills, and green meadows, is just magical and straight out of a fairy tale. In fact, the Nilnag Lake here is quite famous amongst trekkers.
Doodhpathri
The name Doodhpathri itself says it all. The streams flowing here are as clear and white as milk. Green fields, high mountains, and tranquil surroundings all make it a great picnic spot.
Bangus Valley
Bangus Valley is the latest addition to the tourism list, located in the Kupwara district. It has flowery meadows and rivers running through them, making it an ideal destination for tourists desiring tranquility amidst minimal crowds.
