Sanasar Meadow

Sanasar Meadow is a high-altitude grassland located about 19 km west of Batote in Ramban district, Jammu and Kashmir. Comprising two small villages, Sana and Sar, it forms a cup-shaped meadow surrounded by coniferous forests and Himalayan ranges. Developed by the Jammu and Kashmir Tourism Development Corporation, it is known for its tranquil lake, adventure activities and panoramic views, serving as a quieter alternative to nearby Patnitop.

Visitors can expect a wide, cup-shaped alpine meadow surrounded by dense coniferous forests and snow-capped Himalayan peaks. The area features open grasslands for walking, a small lake (Sanasar Lake) with boating, adventure activity zones for paragliding, zorbing and horse riding, and JKTDC huts and cottages. The setting is quiet and natural, with trails, viewpoints and picnic spots spread across the meadow.

Sanasar is named after two small villages Sana and Sar. It was developed as a tourist destination by the Jammu and Kashmir Tourism Development Corporation to promote eco and adventure tourism as an extension of the Patnitop circuit.

The meadow reflects the pastoral culture of the Jammu hills and is used by local Gujjar and shepherd communities for grazing. It is also known for the nearby Nag Temple, revered locally, and for seasonal local gatherings.
