👨👩👧 Family: stroller impossible — meadow trek required
Asia's largest meadow was an army artillery range until 2014. The mines are gone. The beauty was always there.
Tosamaidan was used by the Indian Army as an artillery range for decades. Demined and handed back to civilians in 2014. Now it's a vast, empty, wildflower meadow that may be Asia's largest. Still very few visitors. STAY ON MARKED PATHS.
