  • Visit Conifer, where mountains and snow-covered peaks are illuminated by golden sun rays against a blue sky, and the shaded valley of the Lidder River forms the identity of Aru.
  • Aru is a popular hill station in the trans-Himalayan region, characterized by a vast grassland surrounded by a narrow valley or ravine on one side.
  • The blooming nature amidst a cool climate makes the still and serene Aru one of the most beautiful hill resorts in Kashmir.
  • Like all other hilly areas of Jammu and Kashmir, Aru offers a wonderful view of water reservoirs and mountains.
  • The most beautiful aspect of Aru lies in the small village houses made of wood and stone.
