The Pristine Meadows Of Sanasar....
Sanasar ,is a beautiful valley,situated at an altitude of 2079mts above sea-level & some 20/25kms from Patnitop (a hillstation of Jammu). Sanasar is a cup-shaped meadow, surrounded by gigantic conifers.............. It takes ,some 5/6 hrs drive from Jammu city. Basically ,the 4 laning work is on ,on the Jammu-Srinagar highway ,for which its becoming bit difficult to drive fast across the high mountain roads...Its alway a madding jam around KUD town ( famous for its Patisa sweets made of pure ghee)...
***** someone ,willing to take onto the drive across this way ,should count almost 3hrs+ extra while travelling.
After Patnitop diversion from the Srinagar-Jammu highway, the roads become narrow & bad,with steep gradients...... On the way to Sanasar meadows,one comes across PANCHERI & NATHATOP too.
The best time to be here ,is ,soon after few spell of rains.
The whole region becomes lush green.... Its truely beautiful drive amidst the clouds & high mountains ,after Patnitop. Not much good eatteries on the way ,except "PUNJAB HAVELI" ,soon after Katra crossing...
One should try the KARADI KULCHA ,available in small dhabas on the way. With the onset of winter, these whole region gets covered in snow & the route remains close,until the snow melts again.
It seems there are Golf Course inside the Sanasar meadows...Paragliding too takes place ,depending upon the season( not very sure off...as we didnot see anything taking place as such,when we visited the place last weekend)...But ,yes, Horse riding do take place ,But they charge hefty....There's 2 small dhabas at the meadow site,which serves Rajma -rice & roti-vegetables....Mostly people carry their own food & enjoy a picnic lunch on the green slopes of the terrain much before the meadows & than venture out to the meadows for a trek or horse ride.
****** The drive is awesome,thru' the whole stretch after Patnitop ...Location is pictureques & everyone visiting JAMMU ,should add this place to their itenary list (offcourse,if visiting before Oct' month).
