Doodhpathri, meaning the Valley of Milk, is a serene meadow located in Budgam district of Jammu & Kashmir. Known for its lush green pastures, gushing streams, and snow-capped mountains, Doodhpathri is an untouched natural wonder situated about 42 km from Srinagar. Legend has it that the saint Sheikh ul Alam once prayed here, and when he struck the ground with his staff, milk is said to have gushed out instead of water, giving the valley its name. The Shaliganga River flows through the valley, adding to its scenic charm. Ideal for picnics, horse riding, and trekking, Doodhpathri is a perfect retreat for those seeking peace away from the city bustle. Its untouched beauty and tranquil surroundings make it one of Kashmir’s most enchanting offbeat destinations.
