Forest and stream
Conifer forest along the Chinta stream.
A valley of dense conifer forest and meadows near Bhaderwah, with a stream running through it. Quiet walks and picnics.
Chinta Valley lies a short drive from Bhaderwah, through deodar and fir forest that opens onto meadows along a stream. It is quieter than the town and popular for picnics.
A forest rest house and a few local stalls are the only facilities.
Visit from Bhaderwah with Jai Valley on another day.
