Bangus valley

₹16,000.00/Person

Bangus Valley, located in the Kupwara district of North Kashmir, is one of the most untouched and breathtaking valleys in the region. Spread across vast alpine meadows at an altitude of around 10,000 feet, this valley is surrounded by dense forests, snow-capped mountains, and sparkling streams.

Divided into two main parts — Bod Bangus (Big Bangus) and Lokut Bangus (Small Bangus) — the valley offers a serene escape from city life. It is rich in flora and fauna, and home to rare wildlife including the Himalayan black bear, musk deer, and various bird species.

Still largely unexplored by mainstream tourists, Bangus is an ideal destination for those who love nature, peace, and adventure. Whether you're hiking through the meadows, camping under the stars, or simply enjoying the fresh air, Bangus Valley offers a magical experience in the lap of nature.

  • May to September
