Detail InformationEdit

Baisaran – known as the mini-Switzerland of India with endless undulating lush green meadows laced with dense tall conifers – a combination that is the selling point of Baisaran. Filmgoers would identify several Bollywood films that were shot here. From Baisaran you can catch a panoramic view of Pahalgam and Lidderwat Valley. Baisaran Meadow is where you cool off your heels and catch a breath and relax under clear blue skies or simply lollop around. This laid-back campsite is a perfect ground for lazy honeymooners and hyperactive toddlers who cannot give you hair-raising chills by jumping into rivers as this is a safe place for kids.

HistoryEdit

Baisaran – a part of the Kashmir region, was ruled by the Mughals since the 15th Century. In latter part of the 1400s the Turko-Mughal Military General Mirza Muhammad Haidar Dughlat ruled over Kashmir first on behalf of Sultan Said Khan of Kashgar and then on behalf of the Mughal Emperor Humayan. A polyglot and a historical writer, General Haider wrote the ‘Tarik-i-Rashidi’ – a personal memoir of the Central Asian History. Sultan Ghiyas-ud-Din Zain-ul-Abidin known by all his courtiers and Nobles as the greatest Mughal King ruled the entire Kashmir region for about 40 years during which time he was famous for promoting peace and harmony in Kashmir’s pluralistic society. He even gave a directive to restore and restructure Kashmir during his reign – quite contrary to conventional foreign invading rulers. It was under him that ‘Kashmiriyat’ – a ‘social and cultural consciousness’ of Kashmiri people was developed.
