  • By Muhtasim Ahmed Rahat
    One of the most beautiful place I have ever been too. From the top you get to see clear view of the Srinagar town (according to locals) though due to snow and intense fog I missed that view.
  • By raju notes
    Nothing great other than a broken little fort like structure, one can just climb over to the top and enjoy the surrounding scenic beauty of this place. You may like to click some pics here.if this review has helped you in any way pl encourage by hitting that like button
