A quiet mountain valley near Pahalgam, known for meadows, pine forests, village life and trailheads leading toward lakes and glaciers.
About the place
Aru Valley lies upstream of Pahalgam in Anantnag district, where a small mountain settlement opens into broad meadows and conifer forests. It is an important starting point for routes toward Lidderwat, Tarsar-Marsar and Kolahoi Glacier. The combination of village life, grazing pastures and trail access gives Aru a quieter character than the busier Pahalgam circuit.
