Located in south Kashmir in Shangus district, this place is definitely a place where one can disconnect and get lost amidst mountains and lush green lawns adorned with wildflowers. A perfect get away from the mad rush of city with only noises from babbling brooks and birds chirping seems like an ideal destination. There are few J&K tourism resorts which are quite affordable and easy on the pocket. This place has a potential to surprise you with its beauty and calm- serene surroundings. Chatpal remains an untouched and isolated place, where commercialization is absent and has some interesting nearby places to visit as well like Aharbal waterfall, Sonmarg, Lolab valley, Gulmarg, Martand temple and Kishtawar National Park.
