Minamarg

Dras (also spelled Drass), Jammu and Kashmir, India
Minamarg is a stunningly beautiful meadow that serves as a high-altitude haven for nature lovers. It is located at the base of the Machoi Glacier and is one of the lesser-known but most rewarding places to visit in the region. The valley is carpeted with lush green grass and is dotted with vibrant w ildflowers during the summer. It offers a perfect escape from the rugged, arid terrain of Ladakh. The serene atmosphere and panoramic views of the surrounding mountains make it an ideal spot for camping and trekking. Minamarg is also a starting point for treks to the Amarnath Cave, adding to its spiritual significance.
