Doodhpathri, nestled in central Kashmir's Budgam district, is an evolving tourist haven. Situated at 8957 feet, it boasts meadows adorned with wildflowers and snow-clad peaks. While folklore attributes its name, meaning 'Valley of Milk,' to a saint's miracle, the region's milk production also contributes. Despite no permanent settlements, the authorities aim to make it a ski resort, enhancing winter tourism. With landscapes like Tangnar gorge and Mujpathri village on the route, Doodhpathri offers pristine natural charm and unique folklore in a serene setting.
