Overview Pahalgam is an ideal place for an adventure sports enthusiast. It
offers wonderful treks, skiing, mountaineering and camping sites.
Facilities for roller-skating, table tennis, badminton and cards are

at the Pahalgam natural golf course.
En route to Pahalgam one comes across the beautiful Lidder Valley
with tourist spots at Mattan, famed for its springs and the hillside
cave shrine of Aishmuqam. The river Lidder is an angler's delight
and even an amateur can catch a rainbow trout from the rushing
streams. The large brown bear is a natural inhabitant of the thick
forests. Pahalgam is in Anantnag district which is famous for
Kashmir handmade "gabbas" and exquisitely designed wooden toys.
