[5] The water that is currently flowing through the meadows has a milky appearance from a distance and remains very cold throughout the year.
The lush green grasses over the vast meadows and silver-shining streams running over the large stones further increase its beauty.
[6] Doodhpathri lies in a bowl shaped valley in the Pir Panjal Range of the Himalayas, at an altitude of 2,730 metres (8,960 ft) above sea level.
The natural meadows, which are covered with snow in winter, allow the growth of wild flowers such as daisies, forget-me-nots, and buttercups during spring and summer.
Shepherds from the plains of the district Budgam send their cattle to Doodhpathri in the summer for grazing, and they tend to stay there seasonally for approximately six months.
