Tosa Maidan, often called the “crown of meadows” in Kashmir, is a picturesque and vast grassland located in the Budgam district, about 50 km from Srinagar. Once used as a military artillery practice ground, Tosa Maidan is now an emerging tourist destination, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. This tranquil meadow, spread across 11,000 acres, is surrounded by dense forests, dotted with wildflowers, and enriched by the beauty of nearby streams and rivers.

Ideal for adventure seekers, the meadow serves as a gateway to various trekking routes leading to nearby destinations such as Shunglipora, Drang, and the upper reaches of the Pir Panjal mountain range. Visitors can enjoy activities like camping, birdwatching, and star gazing. The meadow is also a great spot to immerse yourself in the local culture, with nearby villages offering insights into Kashmiri rural life.

Due to its relatively untouched landscape and less commercialized status, Tosa Maidan is perfect for travelers looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and experience the raw, natural beauty of Kashmir. The best time to visit is between April and October when the weather is pleasant, and the meadow is in full bloom. Whether you seek adventure or simply wish to relax amidst nature, Tosa Maidan offers a rejuvenating experience.
