If you're looking for a peaceful and quiet place to relax your
life then Patnitop is the most suitable place for you. The tiny
and beautiful hill station is located 112 kms from Jammu, the city
of ancient temples. This famous hill resort is perched on a beautiful
plateau, at an altitude of 2024 metres across which the Jammu-Srinagar
Highway passes. Enveloped by thickly wooded forests, Patnitop
offers beautiful picnic spots, peaceful walks and breathtaking
views of the mountainscape of the Chenab basin. In winter, the resort
is generally covered with a thick mantle of snow thus providing
opportunities for snow games like skiing.
Patnitop is the best developed tourist spot of Jammu and is second to none in its natural charm, climate, pine forests and lush green cover. The occupancy of the huts and Dak Bungalow remains full in summer months which speak of volumes about its popularity.
The best place to stay in Patnitop is JKTDC Cottages owned by the government. Other options to spend the night at Patnitop are the Green Top hotel, Hotel Samsar, Hotel Vardaan Resort and Hotel Oasis Resort.
From Patnitop, you can visit Sanasar which resembles Patnitop a bit. The only difference is that Sanasar is situated on a higher location. While on your way to Sanasar, Mathatop is another place worth your visit. From Mathatop you can get a clear view of Patnitop and this place will offer you an excellent opportunity for trekking.
Make a trip to Patnitop to experience the true beauty of nature.
