Baisaran Meadow
Baisaran
A high alpine meadow ringed by pine forest, known as “India's Switzerland,” with views over the Lidder valley and snow peaks.
Baisaran Meadow lies on a hillside about 5 km southeast of Pahalgam town, ringed by dense forest. The open meadow has Pir Panjal and the Himalayan snow peaks as its backdrop, and visitors have dubbed it “India's Switzerland.” Visitors used to ride ponies up from town for about an hour, and it was also the mandatory route for hiking to Tulian Lake. In April 2025, tourists were attacked here. The meadow has been closed since then, and as of April 2026 it had not reopened. Be sure to confirm the current situation with local government or travel agencies before setting out.
