It is famous for its scenic meadows and its peaceful environment and scenic beauty. It is also a haven for trekkers and hikers. You can trek to Green Top and Base Camp if you have only a day.
Evergreen Resort - We stopped by to have tea, this is a popular veg food restaurant on route to Pahalgam,usually its very crowded during peak hours, there are not many choices on good veg food on this route.
