Patnitop is a tourist destination located in the foothills of the Shiwalik region of the Himalayas in Jammu & Kashmir. Although it is relatively unknown in comparison to other hill stations, this does not diminish the beauty of the location.
At 2,024 metres, it is a lovely plateau surrounded by deep woodland and scenic splendour. It is the ideal location to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The forested woodland provides abundant walking options across its lovely green meadows. The stroll down the kutcha road provides an opportunity for a very tranquil detachment from the fast-paced world. It provides an enthralling view of the mountains.
