Many of you might have heard about Srinagar, Gulmarg and Sonmarg in Jammu & Kashmir, but I think none of you have ever heard about Bhaderwah. That's why they call it the unexplored heaven on earth.

Timelapse from the Padri Hill. This is how heaven might look like!

Bhaderwah is a small town in the Doda district of Jammu Division in the State of Jammu and Kashmir, India. The Bhaderwah valley is located in the foothills of the Himalayan mountains, 80 km from Batote. The town is known for its natural and environmental beauty and is popularly called as "Mini Kashmir/Chota Kashmir". read more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhaderwah.

Personally I think the best season to visit Bhaderwah is the Spring season because you get the best of the both worlds. I mean you can enjoy the green fields as well as snow covered mountains.

For hotels/home stays you can check Goibibo, Yatra and Tripadvisor. There are only a few good hotels available.
