Yusmarg Tourism

Type of destination: Meadow/Tourist Destination

Ideal visit duration: 1-2 Days

Yusmarg or Yousmarg is an enchanting meadow situated in the western part of the Kashmir valley in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Nestled within the majestic Pir Panjal Range, it is around 47 kilometers south of Srinagar, the summer capital. Yusmarg is famed for its long stretches of green pastures, pristine and serene environs, and a backdrop of snow-clad mountains. It is an ideal retreat for nature lovers, trekkers, and those seeking peace and solitude. The meadow is cradled by thick coniferous forests, and the Doodganga River meanders through its landscapes, enhancing the picturesque beauty of the location. Apart from its natural splendor, Yusmarg is a starting point for several trekking routes and offers numerous activities like horse riding, fishing, and skiing during winter. The meadow is also significant for its religious value as it's believed that Jesus once passed through here. With its unspoiled charm, Yusmarg remains one of the lesser-explored destinations, offering a perfect escape from the hustle of city life.
