13 km from Pahalgam to the sloping Aru pasture. The trek goes through a forest following River Lidder and takes around four hours. Various view-points offer breathtaking view of pine groves and the Tulian peak above Pahalagam. At Aru the Lidder vanishes underground at Gukhumb, to reappear a while later. Aru is a little village overlooking a meadow. A stream coming down from Armiun side of the Kolohoi glacier traverses the meadow. Hotels and rest houses are available, and you can pitch your own tents as well.
