Doodhpathri, a picturesque hill station in Kashmir, is nestled at an elevation of 8,957 feet and is located approximately 45-50 kilometers from Srinagar. Its name, meaning “Valley of Milk,” is derived from the milky appearance of the streams that flow through the meadows, which remain icy cold throughout the year.
This breathtaking destination is known for its vast, lush green meadows adorned with a variety of vibrant wildflowers. The silver streams that wind their way through large stones add to the valley’s enchanting beauty. Doodhpathri’s gently sloping grassy landscape stretches up to Chang, offering a serene escape into nature. To the west of Doodhpathri lies the renowned Tosamaidan, further enhancing the area’s appeal as a must-visit destination in Kashmir.
