Why is Pahalgam called Mini Switzerland?

On April 22, 2025, a tragic terrorist attack took place in Baisaran Valley, killing 26 people. This incident shocked the peaceful town of Pahalgam.

Pahalgam has beautiful green meadows, tall pine trees, and snow-covered mountains, just like Switzerland. This is why people call it "Mini Switzerland."

Pahalgam stays cool and fresh throughout the year, with snow in winter. The chilly weather is very similar to Switzerland.

Pahalgam offers fun activities like trekking, horse riding, and skiing, especially in winter. These adventure sports make it feel like Switzerland.

Pahalgam is calm and peaceful, away from busy city life. Its quiet nature is like the peaceful countryside of Switzerland.

The town has cute wooden cottages that look like Swiss chalets. These cottages add to the town’s Switzerland-like charm.
