Yusmarg, Kashmir | Places to visit, Best Time to visit, and More

Ever chanced upon a place so lovely that it seems almost unreal? That's Yusmarg for you - one of those secret places to see in Kashmir that locals attempt to keep to

themselves.

Only a bumpy 50km ride from Srinagar, this meadow retreat lies peacefully in the Pir Panjal range, free from touristy crowds. The name is derived from a local legend that Jesus (Yus) had roamed these peaceful fields.

What’s special? Imagine rolling green grasslands stretching into the distance, tall pines offering wonderful picnic spots, and the Doodh Ganga river chattering away everywhere. On lucky days, you may get to spot Himalayan animals emerging from between the trees.

Seeking off-the-tourist-track things to do in Kashmir? Ride a village horse across a meadow, trek to still-reflection Nilnag Lake, or simply bask in the grass and watch shapes emerge over snowy ridges.
