The overview
Why travellers come here
Base camp for the Amarnath yatra and the southern valley’s most laid-back town, where the Lidder runs cold between deodar banks. Betaab valley, Aru and the pony track up to Baisaran give you a meadow, a river and a forest in a single afternoon, and the trout fishing is the best in the state.
