Jammu & Kashmir, India · 2,130m · easy difficulty
Suitable for families with children
Go with kids 5–14 — pony rides to Baisaran and walks through Betaab Valley are safe and spacious. Skip under 4 due to altitude (2,130m) and icy snow risk. Avoid peak season crowds, and plan short days to manage the elevation; bring sturdy shoes for the steep Chandanwari road.
