Chandanwari Tourism History
Chandanwari in Pahalgam has an interesting story of how it became famous for tourism. The beautiful Chandanwari located in the heart of Pahalgam, was first noticed when people began visiting Pahalgam for its beautiful green meadows and clean rivers. As more tourists came to Pahalgam, they also discovered the natural beauty of this serene village.
The biggest change came when Chandanwari in Pahalgam became an important stop for the Amarnath Yatra (a religious pilgrimage).
This small village became very well-known because it’s where thousands of pilgrims start their journey to the holy Amarnath cave. This religious connection made Chandanwari an important place in Kashmir’s tourism. Now it welcomes both pilgrims and regular tourists who want to enjoy its beautiful scenery.
