Largest Alpine Meadow
Taking into consideration, the area of Bungus Valley, which is 300 square kilometres, gives it the title of the largest alpine meadow in Kashmir. Located in the Kupwara district in North Kashmir, it is among the remote valleys in Kashmir.
The area of Bangus has mainly two meadows, locally, Lakut and Bod Bungus. The Bod Bangus is the main meadow which is the larger one and the Lakut Bungus is a smaller one.
Having an elevation of around 3,000 metres, it is situated 140 kilometres away from Srinagar city. Bungus Valley landscapes are a creation of its large meadows, naked Himalayan peaks, small hamlets, pristine streams and alpine lakes in the surroundings.

The Bangus Valley Tourism offers us plenty of activities to do such as horse riding, trekking, camping, cycling, paragliding and more. There are pre-set camps for use of the travellers if they want a camping experience.
Bangus Eco-Tourism
The government of Jammu and Kashmir is pushing for the Bungus Valley to be among the best places for eco-tourism. Looking at its resources and opportunities, it is surely going to be a noted place of eco-tourism.
Food and Drink
Talking about eating stuff, there are a lot of stalls that serve tea, coffee, omelettes and other packaged items. You can also eat with the nomad people of the Bangus, who welcome everyone to their mud houses. You can enjoy Kashmiri chai and other tasty food that will fill your hungry souls. The Bangus Valley tourism is sure to increase with restaurants coming up in the future.
How to reach Bungus?
Take a cab from Srinagar to Kupwara and thereafter to Bangus. You can also take a private taxi, up to the Bangus Valley, without any unnecessary stops. There are two routes, one from Kupwara and another from Handwara. Development on both roads is needed as the upper portions are unpaved. After reaching the end of the road, you have to walk up to the destination for up to 20 minutes.
Appropriate Time To Visit
The best time to witness Bangus Valley landscapes is from June to September. Snow accumulated in large quantities in the winter, making it difficult to visit.
