Doodhpathri

Doodhpathri, the 'valley of milk', is a still-quiet meadow in Kashmir. The Srinagar to Doodhpathri distance is 42 kilometres, about a 90-minute drive. The name comes from the frothing Shaliganga stream, whose milky white water rushing over stones resembles a long Doodhpathri waterfall. Recently discovered by tourists, it remains undeveloped with no hotels. The main things to do in Doodhpathri are enjoying the unbroken grasslands and watching shepherd families with their flocks. The pastoral quiet is a charm lost in more famous hill stations. Visiting Doodhpathri in winter is difficult as the road is often closed under deep snow.
