Pahalgam: Ninty six kilometers from Swiss Hotel. Which is also called valley of shepherds.Is Kashmir's premier resort, cool even during the height of summer when the maximum temperature does not exceed 25 Degrees .Around Pahalgam are many places of interest, and because the resort is set between fairly steep hills, it is worth hiring a pony rather than walking. The most beautiful of these is the huge, undulating meadow of Baisaran, surrounded by thickly wooded forests of pine. Hajan, on the way to Chandanwari, is an idyllic spot for a picnic.
