En route to Phalgham in October is dotted with saffron fields, Apple orchards and at some location shops selling cricket bats made of Kashmiri willow. Most tourist prefer to make a same day return trip from Srinagar, Spending a day at Phalghan is and travelling up the slopes is however rewarding.
Chandanwari- the first steps to the shrine of Amarnath. This must be one beautiful trek.
The Beetab Valley So named after the Sunny Deol-Amritha Singh movie shot here.
A ride up on ponies riding through beautiful slopes with pine trees
Ends up in a surprisingly flat rich meadow. Called Kashmirs Switzerland, the meadows are extremely beautiful.
But the journey downhill on the ponies was quite frightening with the horse slipping many a time. Again Kudos to Indian Tourist.
Those saffron flowers are so beautiful.
