July 07, 2025

Unexplored till now, the 11,000 feet high Bhal Padri is just 10 km from another tourist hot spot Padri, the highest point along Bhaderwah-Chamba interstate road in this sub-district popularly known as 'mini-Kashmir' for its scenic beauty.

The district administration Doda and Jammu and Kashmir Tourism department is all set to attract tourists by organising a festival on July 20 in Bhal-Padri to boost tourism footfall, officials said.

The meadow spread over 11 km was unexplored till now due to nonavailability of connectivity. It is popular among locals and tribals besides botanists for its unique and diverse flora.

"The breathtaking valley of flowers is all set to shine as Jammu and Kashmir's next big tourist hotspot," Deputy Commissioner, Doda, Harvinder Singh told PTI.
