Baisaran

Surrounded by immensely wooded forests of pine, Baisaran is a beautiful valley straight out of Yash Chopra’s movies. Popularly known as mini Switzerland of India, this meadow is only 5 kilometres away from Pahalgam and can be easily reached by pony. It also acts as a base for trekkers visiting Tulian Lake. The way to Baisaran provides a perfect photo opportunity as the ponies take you through crisscross paths, lined by pine trees, up to the valley. There are not many food joints up there but small size tapries, where they sell exceptionally good tea. It’s ideal for picnicking and a must-visit attraction in Pahalgam.
