Tosa Maidan is a picturesque meadow located in the Budgam district of Jammu and Kashmir, India, surrounded by the Pir Panjal range of mountains. The area is situated at an altitude of around 3,000 meters and covers a vast area of around 100 square kilometers. The area is also home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including rare species such as the Himalayan black bear, musk deer. Tosa Maidan has a rich history and was once used as a firing range by the Indian Army. However, due to the efforts of local activists and environmentalists, the area has been declared a 'no-firing zone' and has been opened up for tourism. On the Tosamaidan - Doodhpathri trek, we spend multiple days hiking and camping on this expansive lush-green meadows of the region.
