Yusmarg

It is also one of less-visited places in Jammu and Kashmir. With lush green meows and pine forests fringing valley, Yusmarg is less beautiful than Gulmarg or Sonmarg. A 11-kilometre trek les up to a pristine frozen lake. Yusmarg is only a two-hour drive from Srinagar so it will be feasible to stay re.

Gurez

Located on ancient Silk Route, Gurez is one of high altitude Himalayan vills. It gives a wonderful view of sw-covered mountains and sparkling river, Kishanganga, which flows through valley. It also houses some exotic wildlife like sw leopards and brown bear. From Gurez one can cover beautiful Tulail Valley on same day. However, being located on LOC, Tulail Valley needs permission from Army Camp and SP of area. Lodging accommodations in Gurez includes tent and homestay arranged by locals.
