Pahalgam is the headquarters of one of the five tehsils of the Anantnag district. Pahalgam is associated with the annual Amarnath Yatra.
Dal Lake
Dal Lake is widely regarded as being the “jewel in the crown of Kashmir”. On a more local note, it is also referred to as the “jewel of Srinagar”. Those unfamiliar with the location of this lake may be surprised to learn that, far from being a remote and isolated beauty spot, Dal Lake is sited within the major city of Srinagar and is therefore regarded as being an “urban lake”.
