Spanning across an area of 180 sq km, this biosphere reserve is home to myriad species of flora, fauna and birds, including some very rare species. It lies at a distance of about 48 km from Srinagar and the main attraction here is the musk deer. You can however, also spot brown bear, leopard, hangul, serow, black bear and red fox as you venture into the deeper ends of the forest apart from a rich array of avifauna like upland birds and pheasants. You may also spot an occasional griffon, monal, vulture, European hoopoe, jungle crow, Kashmir roller, blue rock pigeon, koklas and snow cock among others, making it a veritable haven for ornithologists. The vegetation here is largely dominated by towering conifers apart from green herbs that lend a verdant scenic appearance to the place. It remains open for tourists and visitors every day from 10am to 4pm and adventure seekers can also opt to stay in close proximity to the reserve in camps provided in its vicinity. The beauty and appeal of the reserve grows many fold around the months of March through May when the flowers are in full bloom and it becomes a birdwatcher’s paradise. Planning to Visit Kashmir, Checkout & Book: Kashmir Trip Packages

The verdant green meadows with bright red fruits dotting the entire area and clear blue skies above, is a sight straight out of a picture book and one you would certainly not want to miss. The Strawberry Valley in Gulmarg, situated “right behind a hill” as most locals would point out when you are exploring the area, is a little off the beaten path. This largely explains its unspoiled beauty of the place, as it is still free from a heavy descent of tourists. Summers are when the valley is at its busiest, being the harvesting time. Ripe red strawberries everywhere make a visit to the veritable garden of Eden, a supremely enthralling one. Tourists are allowed to take a walk along rows of strawberry plantations to soak in the crimson beauty of the surrounding area. You can also carry a basket along and after taking a stroll amid nature’s bounty, enjoy a quiet picnic in the shade of a tree. The sheer charisma and vibrancy that this place exudes had also made it one of the most popular Bollywood shooting locations of the yesteryears.Planning to Visit Srinagar, Checkout & Book: Srinagar Trip Packages
