Yusmarg, Jammu and Kashmir, India
Sang-e-Safed, which translates to "Valley of White Stones," is a picturesque meadow located a few kilometers from the main Yusmarg valley.

The Doodhg anga River flows through the valley, adding to its scenic charm. Sang-e-Safed is a less-explored gem, and the journey to this valley is a rewarding trekking experience. The place is a perfect destination for those seeking solitude and a closer connection with nature. The valley also serves as a base camp for the trek to the majestic Sunset Peak. The tranquil atmosphere and the stunning views of the surrounding mountains make it a paradise for photographers and nature lovers.
