Mar 31, 2025

Bhaderwah/ Patnitop (Jammu and Kashmir), Mar 31 (ANI): Bhaderwah, often called the “Mini Kashmir,” captivates visitors with its lush meadows, snow-capped peaks, and serene landscapes. Renowned for its pleasant weather year-round, the valley offers a true winter wonderland experience, complete with snowfall and thriving winter tourism. Beyond its breath-taking scenery, Bhaderwah is a perfect retreat for those seeking peace and tranquillity. While much of the country welcomes summer, this picturesque valley remains draped in snow, drawing travellers eager to embrace its crisp, refreshing air and serene charm. With rising tourism in Bhadarwah, hotels and homestays have grown significantly. Homestays offer a warm, home-like experience with clean rooms, local cuisine, and fresh, organic meals. Their welcoming atmosphere and scenic views attract many travellers over costly luxury hotels, making Homestays a preferred choice. Beyond Bhaderwah, Patnitop is another historic and scenic gem in Jammu. Perched at 2,024 meters, it enjoys cool, pleasant weather year-round. Jammu’s tourism potential extends far beyond Patnitop and Bhaderwah, with hidden gems like Ranjit Sagar Dam, Bani, Basohli, and RS Pura waiting to be explored. With improved infrastructure, these offbeat destinations can shine, and the upcoming railway to Kashmir is set to unlock new opportunities, giving the region’s tourism a remarkable boost.
