Dhoodhpathri

Doodhpathri, also spelled as Dodhpathri or Dudhpatri, is a picturesque meadow located in the Indian-administered union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. It is situated in the Budgam district, approximately 42 kilometers from Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir.

Doodhpathri is known for its lush green meadows, dense forests, and the presence of the Doodhganga River, which enhances the natural beauty of the area. The name “Doodhpathri” translates to “Valley of Milk,” and the place is named so due to the milk-like color of the water in the Doodhganga River that flows through the meadow.

The region is surrounded by snow-capped mountains and pine forests, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and tourists seeking tranquility. Doodhpathri is less crowded compared to some other tourist spots in the region, making it an ideal location for those looking to enjoy the serene beauty of Kashmir. Visitors often engage in activities such as picnicking, trekking, and horse riding while exploring the meadows and the surrounding areas.
