The Greenwood Cottage-Pahalgam

Pahalgam

Situated at an altitude of 2,130 m. Pahalgam is a stunningly beautiful hill station in Kashmir just 90 kms from Srinagar. It is situated at the junction of the Aru and Sheshnag Rivers and surrounded by tall fir-covered mountains and snow-clad peaks forming a spectacular sight. Overa- Aru Wildlife Sanctuary, home to brown bears and musk deer is just about 3 kms from here. It is also the starting point of the annual Amarnath Yatra when thousands of Shiva devotees gather here.

This charming wooden cottage is set in a pristine location surrounded by pine trees. It is very well located, away from the rush and crowd of Pahalgam  and is 10 min walk from the main market and taxi stand.  The cottage has 6 super spacious, well maintained and impeccably clean rooms. The rooms are of two types: 2 double occupancy rooms with queen sized bed, a dressing area and a private bathroom; and 2 family rooms. A family room is a set of 2 interconnected rooms with a bathroom.

Waking up to a view of snow-capped mountains, tall pine trees and glorious sunlight breaking through the forest while holding a cup of kahwa in hand surely will feel like a dream. There is a well manicured lawn for outdoor activities.
