Nathatop

Nathatop sits at an elevation of 2711 metres, reached by a short trek from Patnitop through pine forest. The viewpoint opens onto sweeping views of the Pir Panjal range and the valleys below. Snow blankets the slopes through winter, drawing skiers and snowboarders, while summer months bring trekkers and paragliders chasing the thermals off the ridge. The climb up is gentle enough for most fitness levels, and the panorama at the top makes it one of the more rewarding short excursions near Patnitop.
