Nestled 95 kilometres east of Srinagar, Pahalgam emerges as a quaint haven, cradled amidst the formidable Himalayas and ensconced in the verdant embrace of nature. This picturesque town, a sanctuary for those seeking respite from the cacophony of city life, stands as a testament to the breathtaking beauty that defines Jammu and Kashmir. The allure of Pahalgam lies not only in its scenic landscapes but also in the tranquillity that pervades its very essence. This is why Pahalgam has become the most important spot in the Jammu and Kashmir Tour Packages of Carrnival Trips.

Enchanting Tapestry of Nature:

Pahalgam unfolds like a canvas painted with vibrant hues – a masterpiece of tall pine trees, meandering rivers, and snow-capped mountains. The Lidder River, with its melodious gush, winds its way through the town, adding a symphony of nature to the already mesmerising visuals. Originally inhabited by shepherds, Pahalgam earned the moniker ‘Valley of Shepherds,’ a testament to its pastoral charm that persists amid the modernity of today.

The Bollywood allure of Pahalgam is undeniable, having served as the backdrop for several iconic films. From the haunting landscapes in “Haider” to the lively escapades in “Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani,” the town has etched its presence in the celluloid realm. Yet, beyond the glitz of Bollywood, Pahalgam beckons travellers with an indescribable charm that transcends the cinematic lens. Since Bollywood is one of the most significant attractions for Indians, Carrnival Trips has included Pahalgam in our Jammu and Kashmir Tour Packages to make the tourists recall the moments in the movies on the particular spots.

Betaab Valley: A Bollywood Extravaganza in Nature’s Lap 

Imagine a place where the symphony of a rushing river accompanies the rustling of tall pine and deodar trees, where mountains stand as silent sentinels, and birds serenade the landscape – that’s Betaab Valley. Betaab valley is like a gem in Jammu and Kashmir tour packages for every season. Situated a mere 15 kilometres from Pahalgam, this haven, previously known as Hagan Valley, underwent a cinematic transformation when the Bollywood blockbuster ‘Betaab’ was filmed here. Visitors can create their own cinematic narratives with horseback rides, picnics amidst nature’s splendour, and an opportunity to be surrounded by the very scenes that graced the silver screen.

Whether opting for a serene horse ride or embarking on a trekking expedition, visitors can immerse themselves in the pristine beauty of the valley.
