Patnitop- new destination in Kashmir

Patnitop:- 112 kms from Jammu. This famous hill resort is perched on a beautiful plateau, at an altitude of 2024 metres across which the Jammu-Srinagar Highway passes. Enveloped by thickly wooded forests, Patnitop offers beautiful picnic spots, peaceful walks and breathtaking views of the   mountainscape of the Chenab basin. In winter, the resort is generally covered with a thick mantle of snow thus providing opportunities for   various snow games  including skiing. It is the best developed tourist spot of Jammu and is second to none in its natural charm, climate, pine forests and lush green cover. The occupancy of the huts and Dak Banglow is full in summer months. There is ambitious plan of Patnitop Development Authority to develop Patnitop, Kud, Sud-Mahadev, Mantalai circuit. The costruction work of Mall Road at Kud is also proposed to be taken up. Trekking route from Kud to Patnitop-Sanasar has already been completed. The complete tourist circuit covers Jammu-Katra-VaishnoDeviji, Kud-Sanasar, Patnitop-Gourikund, Sudmahadev, Mantali, extending upto Latti-Dhuna.

 

Vehicle required at Patnitop

I suggest to use a vehicle / taxi for going in remote areas of Kashmir. Patnitop offers visit to Natha Top and beyond and I think this trip is worth, specially if you are visiting in winters !

I searched in google and found some info about skiing options in this area.

I think you are right about availability of vehicle as it is easy to move to remote.

I think this is a very nice place to visit. Away from the busy city life. I will plan my trip here after I have my Las Vegas Bus Tour this October.

Good for family holiday in summers.

This region is good for family holidaying in summer. You can escape from heat of planes of North and can spend some days near Natha Top. Weather is cool in night and rains lasts longer.....can find some fun !
