Get ready to add four new breathtaking destinations to your travel bucket list! Jammu and Kashmir is gearing up to unveil Kokernag, Baradari, Bhadarwah, and Doodhpathri – four hidden gems that will soon shine on the global tourism map, thanks to a major boost from the World Bank. These picturesque spots, nestled across Anantnag, Reasi, Doda, and Budgam, are set to be transformed into world-class tourism hubs, with a focus on preserving the natural beauty and eco-system that make this region so special.

The transformation plans were set in motion after a World Bank delegation toured the region, giving their nod to the development. Working hand-in-hand with the Jammu and Kashmir government and the central authorities, the World Bank will help bring state-of-the-art infrastructure to these destinations, ensuring they are ready to welcome travelers from around the world.

What sets these projects apart is their emphasis on ecological sustainability. With careful spatial planning, the goal is to enhance the region’s tourism appeal while protecting the environment.

From eco-friendly accommodations to responsible tourism practices, the initiative aims to create a balance between development and conservation, giving visitors a chance to explore Jammu and Kashmir’s beauty without compromising its future.

For those who have yet to explore this corner of India, now is the time. With its improved law and order situation and growing peace, foreign tourists are already flocking to the region in greater numbers, eager to experience its pristine landscapes and rich cultural heritage.

Kokernag’s lush gardens, Baradari’s historical charm, Bhadarwah’s serene beauty, and Doodhpathri’s tranquil meadows are waiting to offer you a glimpse into the heart of Kashmir—beautiful, sustainable, and ready for the world’s attention.

Along with these new attractions, Jammu and Kashmir already offers iconic spots like Dal Lake, Vaishno Devi, and Gulmarg, blending spirituality, adventure, and breathtaking landscapes.
