Chandanwari is famous for being the base, or starting point, to the famous Hindu pilgrimage site. It is situated at an elevation of 2,895 meters, and located about 16 kilometers from Pahalgam. It is blessed with picturesque beauty, with the Lidder River flowing closeby, and is famous for its sightseeing opportunities, as it is surrounded by snowcapped mountains.
Chandanwari is covered in snow from November till May, and you can watch the lovely sight of glaciers melting in the Lidder River.
