A Unique Natural Canvas
The valley’s spindle-shaped landscape follows a 50 km corridor along the Jhelum River, offering panoramic views with every curve of the water. Whether you’re gazing at terraced fields, dense pine forests, or orchards in bloom, every scene seems lifted from a postcard kashmirtourpackage.co. Seasonal changes amplify its charm: lush green summers, golden orchards in autumn, and snowy serenity in the winter highlands.
Stretching from the Pir Panjal to the Zojila ranges, the Jhelum Valley Division—also called the “Centre Division”—is Kashmir’s geological and cultural core. Carved by the Jhelum River, this spindle-shaped valley unveils 500-million-year-old limestone cliffs, dramatic Karewa plateaus, and volcanic Punjal Traps. For travellers, it’s an untouched paradise that blends Himalayan wilderness with Mughal heritage, perfectly woven into any Kashmir tour package.
