About:
Gulmarg is 1.5 hours’ drive from Srinagar and is noted for its white beauty since it is blanketed with snow throughout the winter, which is supposedly the finest time to visit.
Botapathri is a hidden gem in the Nagin Valley, about 10-15 kilometers from Gulmarg. It is fairly close to the border, making security checks difficult. Between Gulmarg town and here, there are at least two Army checkpoints. Civilians are not permitted to travel beyond the second checkpoint because it is only 5 kilometers from the LOC. This route also goes to Apharwat Peak and Alpather Lake. The first checkpoint is near the High Altitude Warfare School, and you must obtain clearance from the Army personnel stationed there. That takes no time.
Botapathri is a lovely meadow surrounded by dense woodlands and a rushing stream that runs alongside it. The drive is truly breathtaking, passing through lofty mountains interspersed with massive glaciers. You can even attempt to walk across one! You can see some Dhokas (mud homes) of Gujjars and Bakerwals who graze their sheep in the valleys during the summer months as you pass through. In the winter, they descend to lower elevations.
