Via Kashmir

A valley named after a film

Betaab (1983) was filmed in a valley on the Lidder near Pahalgam. It has been called Betaab Valley ever since.

The 1960s classics

Kashmir Ki Kali (1964) and Jab Jab Phool Khile (1965) were filmed in Srinagar. The second is set on a houseboat.

Haider at Martand

Haider (2014) filmed at the Martand Sun Temple near Mattan, a short detour on the Srinagar to Pahalgam drive.

Highway in Aru

Highway (2014) filmed at Aru and Chandanwari. Aru is about 12 km from Pahalgam by the local union taxi.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan in Sonamarg

Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) shot its climax in Sonamarg, near the Thajiwas Glacier, about 80 km from Srinagar.

Most fit one trip
