About Doodhpathri
Doodhpathri* – literally “Valley of Milk” – is a stunning alpine meadow in Budgam district, Kashmir, sitting at about 8,957 ft. It’s known for lush green stretches, crystal‑clear streams (the milky‑white Shaliganga River), dense pine and fir forests, and a backdrop of snow‑capped peaks. Because it’s relatively off‑the‑radar, you’ll find fewer crowds, making it great for peace, photography, and nature immersion. ### Top Things to Do - *Explore the Meadow*: Walk or have a picnic on the vast grassland; wildflowers bloom in spring and summer, turning the place into a colorful carpet. - *Visit Shaliganga River*: Follow the riverbank, enjoy the sound of flowing water, or try a short trek to the nearby *Doodhpathri Waterfall* (a 2–3 km hike) for a more adventurous feel.
