Detail InformationEdit

Aru Valley is a grassland surrounded by a gorge on one side. Aru is a beautiful shaded valley of the Lidder river. Encircling and protecting Aru, are the conifer- spread mountains with occasional flash of high, snow-covered peaks rising against the blue sky. Aru is one of the most beautiful hill resorts of Kashmir and is still, serene and idyllic. There are small hamlets of wood-and-stone houses, some of them in the typical Gujjar-shepherd style with flat roofs, squat and backed against the hillside. Towering at a height of approximately 2408 meters, it follows the shepherds’ trail to the high Kashmiri meadows.
