Pahalgam is where the hilly regions of Kashmir begins. It is in the Anantnag district and has a lot of beautiful and unexplored places. In this guide, I have listed a few places that are not worth missing when going from Srinagar to Pahalgam.

🌡️Weather
I visited the place in April, which is peak summers in the region. However, the temperatures were low and the air cool and crisp. So, please carry jackets and woollen clothes irrespective of the month you're visiting.

Kokernag
@malvikagaur
This is an offbeat location on the way from Srinagar to Pahalgam. The place has one huge picnic spot with numerous river streams flowing. You will find the local Kashmiri crowd with their families having lunch and chat with kids running around.

Verinag Spring
@malvikagaur
This is another offbeat place on the way to from Srinagar to Pahalgam. It has natural Spring in between with a huge garden built around by the Mughal emperor Jehangir.

Ashmuqam Ziyarat Top View
@malvikagaur
This is a famous and important Dargah located at a hilltop in the district of Anantnag. It has over 300 stairs. Because of its location on a height, it offers a beautiful view. People from far-away corners of Kashmir visit this holy shrine to offer prayers and seek whatever they are searching for. For me, it was a unique experience.

Chandanwadi
@malvikagaur
This is 30-minutes uphill from Pahalgam. It is also the spot from where Amarnath pilgrimage begins. Even in summers, it was all snowy. You may explore the area on foot or the man-drawn carts that are available. Please ensure that you wear good-quality shoes because it gets super slippery if you are not used to trek in the snow. Don't forget to have the yummiest apple juice of your life here!
