There are ten districts in Kashmir Valley. Every district has its own unique, special, and endowed history, and district Budgam is one of them. The district of Budgam is 12 km from the heart of Srinagar; that’s Lal Chowk. In the past, most popular areas presently included in Srinagar district were considered in Budgam. So Budgam and Srinagar have been close bounds for decades.
Budgam district is one of the mesmerizing, picturesque districts in Kashmir Valley. Sheikh ul Alam (RA) shrine in Charar e Shareef enhances the beauty and grants a special status to it. The district has lavishing, sensuous tourist places like Doodhpathri, Sonamarg, Tosamaidan, Sotchal Pathri, Sukhnag, Tangnar, and many more will be explored in the future.

Raiyar – Ich: Raiyar Ich is a picturesque hamlet and resting place for tourists who come from different corners of the world. Facts to know about the Raiyar-Ich. Raiyar comprises of two Kashmiri words, i.e., “Rai” means lost and “Yaar” means friend in the Kashmiri language. So the name had been given to this beautiful hamlet by the mystic Kashmiri Sufi saint, Sheikh Noor Ud Din Wali (RA). It’s so when he reached the said village from the forests of the Pir Panjal, he sent his friends (fanatic disciples of the Sufi saint) to different parts of Kashmir to spread Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) teaching, and he managed to start his journey alone towards Dreygam cave. Dreygam Cave is well known, and people from all corners of the world visit, and it enhances and repeats the history of the Sufis of Kashmir Valley. Source: a local legend of the village.
Why Raiyar is Attractive for the Tourists
The village is literally endowed with vast and rich culture covered with lush green forest; during late nights, the crispy wind bestows peace of mind. The people of the village are so innocent and humble, living peacefully with inherited culture. Raiyar is famous for rajma (kidney beans), maize bread, and walnuts.
Sources of Livelihood for the Locals
It is very fortunate for the locals that Doodhpathri got a place on the tourist map. Doodhpathri is one of the emerging tourist destinations in the Khansahib tehsil and generates employment for thousands of unemployed youth.
What Locals Demand
Higher Secondary School
As the Raiyar ich becomes the central hub for the adjoining villages, locals demand the upgradation of high school Raiyar ich into higher secondary school. The population is underprivileged and can't afford to send their children to Khansahib; they have to spend Rs 50 as fares per day. Sometimes school-going children used to sit at home because they had no bus fares in their pockets.
Highly equipped sports stadium for the local emerging sports stars.
Children Park for local children with safe sports equipment.
Grazing Area for the Locals
The population has been grazing cattle for centuries, and most of them are earning their livelihood and boosting the economy of the district.
Computer skill centers under centrally sponsored schemes are very important for the local unemployed youth. The youth of the area are desirous of achieving their goals in all the fields, like medicine, teaching, computer science, etc.
Stay home scheme. All the households in the village should be covered under the stay-home scheme so that they get a chance to earn their livelihood. Benefits under the stay-home scheme and benefits under this scheme should be given to all the registered households for further upgrading of their residential houses.
Bhatti Mohallah, Tangnar road connectivity from high school Raiyar ich to TRC Tangnar should be taken on priority: Tangnar Raiyar ich because during harsh winters, tourist flow diverted via Bhatti mohallah Tangnar to TRC Tangnar. Tourists enjoy and may know the culture of the locals of the area, and it becomes a way of earning a cause for the locals.
Street lights for Bhatti Mohallah Tangnar, it will enhance the beauty of Raiyar-ich and give tourists a chance to know more facts about the village.
