Kishtwar, situated in the picturesque landscapes of the Jammu Division in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, is a promising tourist destination. This paper provides a thorough investigation of the various tourist attractions in Kishtwar and assesses their potential for sustainable development. The region's natural beauty, including landmarks such as the breathtaking "Chowgan" and the captivating "Naginshiru" peak, as well as its sacred shrines and the majestic "Chenab" river, make it highly attractive to visitors. However, the lack of sufficient development efforts by the government and the Kishtwar Development Authority (KDA) has hindered the realization of Kishtwar's tourism potential. Through an analysis of existing tourist destinations and an exploration of untapped sites, this study aims to highlight opportunities for sustainable tourism development in Kishtwar. By recognizing tourism as a driver of economic growth, employment creation, and cultural exchange, the research findings aim to guide policymakers and stakeholders in promoting the region's tourism sector while ensuring the preservation of its natural and cultural heritage.
