Monday, May 24th, 2010

Kashmir tourism has seen a great upsurge of tourists recently. To beat the soaring temperatures of the plains, people are flocking to the Patnitop hill station which is situated 70 miles from the state of Jammu & Kashmir. Since Patnitop lies more than 65-hundred feet above sea level, tourists find this place to be a big relief from the hot weather that prevails in the plains during warm Indian summers.

“The weather here is really nice. In other parts of Northern Indian plains the weather is too hot. Temperatures there may sometimes even rise up to over 45°C. However, here the weather is cool. We are enjoying it totally”, said a tourist from Gujarat. Another tourist from Bihar added, “This is indeed a beautiful place. The ambiance here is calm and peaceful. Anybody who wishes to enjoy beauty of a serene environment should plan a Kashmir hill station tour this summer.”

The Patnitop hill station is a major attraction of Kashmir tourism because it is a beautiful and charming plateau. In addition to this, the gushing and ice-cold fresh water springs of Patnitop is said to have medicinal properties.

Patnitop hill station is also a perfect spot for picnics.
