Pahalgam Tour – Valley of Shepherds in Your Jammu Kashmir Package
Pahalgam Tour – Valley of Shepherds in Your Jammu Kashmir Package
Pahalgam — the Valley of Shepherds — is a landscape of such natural perfection it barely seems real. At 7,200 feet in the Lidder Valley, 96 km from Srinagar, Pahalgam sits where emerald meadows meet pine-forested mountains, apple orchards frame crystal rivers, and the air feels impossibly clean. Pahalgam is a highlight of every Jammu Kashmir package with Yatra King from ₹7,800/- per person.
