Yusmarg
یوسمرگ
A peaceful meadow ringed by pine forest at the foot of Pir Panjal Mountains. It draws far fewer visitors than Gulmarg and is good for horseback riding and short hikes.
Yusmarg lies in Budgam District, about 47 kilometers southwest of Srinagar, at an elevation of about 2,400 meters. Open meadows are surrounded by pine and fir trees. You can ride a horse to Nilnag Lake or follow the Doodhganga River on foot to a waterfall. Facilities are simple, making it suitable for a day trip for those who want to avoid crowds. It is often combined with Doodhpathri.
