2nd Day | Srinagar to Doodhpathri - Day Trip
Friday 17th May, 2024

After Breakfast leave for day trip to doodhpathri. Doodhpathri means a ‘Valley of Milk’ and the reason why it’s called that is because the water flowing through the meadows here looks like milk from a distance. There’s also a story which goes back in time. It is believed that when the famous saint of Kashmir Sheikh-ul-Alam once prayed here, and pricked the ground with his stick to get some water, milk started oozing out instead, on the rocks. Since Doodhpathri is a part of the Pir Panjal Range of the Himalayas, it is a staggering altitude of 8,957 feet above sea level. There’s snow-capped mountains to be seen everywhere, and gorgeous meadows of pine, fir and cedar at every step. These meadows are covered with snow all winter, allowing the growth of wild flowers such as daisies, forget-me-nots and butter cups during spring and summer. Doodhpathri doesn’t have a permanent settlement; it is inaccessible during winter due to heavy snowfall. In summer, however, shepherds from the nearby Budgam district bring cattle here for grazing and make base at Doodhpathri for about six months. Later in the evening return to srinagar.  Dinner and overnight stay at Hotel/HouseBoat.
