Aru Valley

About this place

Overlooking the majestic snow-capped peaks of the Himalayan Range, Aru Valley is a pristine scenic village in the Trans-Himalaya, about 12 km from Pahalgam. A clear blue canopy over the head, misty surroundings, whispers of the native pines and conifer forests, and beautiful meadows create a captivating diorama for travelers thronging the place. Though the village is the smallest hill station in the state, still its breathtaking beauty & activities like trekking, hiking, and horse riding make it one of the most popular tourist places in Pahalgam. Aru Valley is an excellent choice for leisure seekers and adventure lovers & enriches the glory of Jammu and Kashmir tourism by being the starting point of trekking expeditions to Kolahoi Glacier and Sonmarg.
