Great place with different scenes in surroundings. Also can go horse riding to Mountain tops for the best experience. Under rated place in kashmir due to this theres not lot of people visiting. Also not far from srinagar.

Virgin beauty untouched by Humanity.Everything a nature lover would want: Mountains, creeks, meadows and woods. A beautiful destination for night stay with family with small huts available at a reasonable rent. Don’t forget your DSLR. This is our own Scotland.

A 2 hrs drive from Srinagar, apt for a day trip. Beautiful meadows, forest area, huts of the Gujar tribes, are all to behold. A pony takes through all the points, charges around 1-1.5k for approx 1.5-2 hrs ride. This place is closed during winter due to heavy snowfall. This is one of the less touristy spots but definitely not inferior to any other.

This is lovely place to visit, especially in summer. The scenic beauty that you get heres really great. This place isnt that popular with tourists so you wont find it very crowded. It has a water stream with very cold and clean water. If you stay in water for more than a minute there you can call yourself super human.

An amazing place to trek. This place experiences a lot of rainfall. Try to find a cottage and stay. We found a local who offered to guide us on a trek. Beautiful views. Try exploring on foot rather than on a horse.

The forest is a vast expanse of trees. They benefit us in many ways, directly and indirectly. We cant deny the fact that we cant survive on earth in the absence of the forest. Forests are not only trees and plants, but also a storehouse of many useful organisms and medicinal plants.The trees in the forest take carbon dioxide for preparing their food and release oxygen. The other living beings use that oxygen in breathing. Thus, the trees are the most essential for life on earth.  Forests serve as a home for many species of wild animals and birds. Hence, they are a great tool for preserving biodiversity, which is very important for maintaining a healthy environment.The woods are part of many household products like toothpaste, nail polish, medication, paint, etc. Many plants, trees, shrubs, and their fruits and flowers help in treating many deadly diseases. Forest helps much in balancing the weather condition. They control greenhouses gases and save earth from overheating. The biggest problem of global warming for the whole world can be solved only by forests.Forest saves us from many types of pollution like water pollution, air pollution, and soil pollution. They hold the upper layer of the soil tightly and save them from erosion. The nitrogen cycle in the soil is impossible without the trees. Forest is helpful in many ways and, the extensive use of its products in our life makes it most important for us to support and grow it.

The name doodpathri means Valley of Milk. It is said that the famous saint of Kashmir Sheikh ul Aalam Sheikh Noor din Noorani has prayed here and once when he was in search of water in the meadows, to offer prayers, he pricked the ground with his stick to search for water and milk came out. He asked the milk that you can only be used for drinking and not performing ablution. Hearing this milk at once changed its state to water and the meadow got its name Doodpathri. The water which is at present flowing through the meadows has a milky appearance from the distance and remains very cold throughout the year. The lush green grasses over the vast meadows and silver shining streams running over the large stones further increase its beauty. Doodhpathri is sloping grassy landscapes with a diversity of multicolored flowers up to Chang. The famous Tosamaidan lies in the west of Doodpathri.[2]Geography[edit]Doodhpathri lies in a bowl shaped valley in the Pir Panjal Range of the Himalayas, at an altitude of 2,730 m (8,957 ft) above sea level. It is an alpine valley covered with snow clad mountains and the meadows of Pine Fir and Deodar. The natural meadows, which are covered with snow in winter, allow the growth of wild flowers such as daisies, forget-me-nots and butter cups during spring and summer.Demographics[edit]Doodhpathri has no permanent settlement and is inaccessible during winter due to heavy snowfall. In summer shepherds from the plains of district Budgam bring cattle for grazing and remain at Doodhpathri seasonally for about six months.

Review №36

Beautiful place, all the excitement after two hours journey there is totally spoilt by the local boys call themselves agent/guide/ghorawala. They are not authorised to stop or force anyone, but they still stop all taxiies. Ask for very high rates, which is not required at all, as cars can go till the spot.For other site seeing you may need a horse for joy ride.Few tourist went back without visiting the tourist point because of them. Not sure why local tourism department take action against them and put in a system in place to employ them and make it a better place for tourist.

Like any other beautiful valley s of Kashmir, Doodhpathri give a good respite from the citys hustle and bustle. It has a water stream running through it. About 40 kms from Srinagar city and at 9k ft. from sea level, its situated in district Budgam of J&K.Great for chilling on weekends being near to the city. You can enjoy kashmiri noon (salt) tea and bread by the local vendors at many places.To use washrooms, head to the Tourist centre building (ground floor) suitated near the entry gate.

A less explored, heaven on earth kind of place, only 3 hours from Srinagar. Since there are few tourists that visit this place, this is not exploited and offers a wonderful experience. Do visit the local house(s), have their tea (kahwa) and strike up conversation with them. These are mostly people with horses whose livelihood depends on the tourists. They are very humble. There is no cellular network at this point, so be prepared for that.

Lush green meadows greet you at Doodhpathri. The place has been less explored by tourists from outside the state but is a must visit place in your travel basket for kashmir. At the end there is shali ganga river with its fast flowing water through which stones in the river appear white, hence the name doodhpathri. Please note that there are only 1-2 proper restaurants in the area. Zaika restaurant is run by JKTDC but the taste may not cater much to the people from outside. Also the road to Doodhpathri is filled with potholes and thus it takes 2 hrs to reach there even though it is only around 45 km from Srinagar. Avoid visiting on Sunday as many locals spend the day here for picnic and there can be heavy traffic jam as you can see from some of the pics I have posted.

Doodhpathri is a beautiful meadow with emerald grass that looks like a green carpet. A beautiful river dancing and reverberating with the wind flows in the middle of the meadow, lending it a splendid charm and vibrancy. The place looks very beautiful and pleasant. The green grass under the feet is really wonderful.

It is such a nice place to visit. The natural terrain and the landscape is amazing. The place is in its original shape with less development. There is little to no pollution.The place is surely worth watching I suggest you get you meals and snacks with you because you wont get your favorite foods there.Since the terrain is mountainous, so I suggest get yourself a heavy engine car. Good luck 🤞
