Chandanwari, a place of great religious and tourist importance.

 Chandanwari, located on the outskirts of Pahalgam, is a place of great religious and tourist importance. It is the starting point of the annual Amarnath Yatra, an important journey that takes place in the Hindu month of Sawan. 

Favoured by its ethereal qualities, this place has always been an excellent destination for guests visiting the Kashmir Valley. Hilly landscapes and insufficient greenery define the geography of this small and beautiful villa.

The gushing Sheshnag River crosses this district and makes its scene all the more fascinating. As you drive to this place from Pahalgam, you are greeted with a breathtaking view of snow-capped peaks and the Lidder river flowing through the valley. Chandanwari offers ample opportunities to indulge in activities like trekking, climbing, horse riding, palanquin rides and snow sledding.

Whether you are looking for a relaxing and secluded destination for your honeymoon or want to explore the endless beauty of Pahalgam, Chandanwari is a perfect stopover to relax in the lap of nature. Sheshnag Lake and Panchtarni, two wonderful places on the way to Amarnath Temple, are just 12 km and 23 km from Chandanwari.
