A Journey Through Kashmir: Chandanwari, Betaab Valley, and Aru Valley
Introduction
Hello friends! Today, we are taking you on an incredible journey through the mesmerizing beauty of Kashmir. Our adventure begins with the historic charm of Chandanwari, takes us through the cinematic landscapes of Betaab Valley, and concludes with a peaceful night at Aru Valley. So, let's dive into this exciting travel experience!

Chandanwari: The Gateway to Amarnath Yatra
Our first stop is Chandanwari, located about 16 kilometers from Pahalgam. This beautiful spot is not just a picturesque destination but also the starting point of the famous 32-kilometer trek to the Amarnath Cave, a sacred pilgrimage for Hindus. During the Yatra season, Chandanwari transforms into a vibrant hub of activity, filled with pilgrims, shops selling essentials, and langars offering free meals. Ponies can be rented here to assist pilgrims on their journey, and outside of the Yatra season, you can enjoy sled rides on the glacier, a unique experience even in the summer!

For those seeking a peaceful escape, Chandanwari also serves as a lovely picnic spot. The gentle flow of the Lidder River adds to the tranquility, making it a must-visit place during your trip to Pahalgam.

Betaab Valley: A Scenic Bollywood Favorite
Next, we head to the stunning Betaab Valley, which gained popularity after the Bollywood film Betaab was shot here, giving the valley its current name. Once known as Hagan Valley, this idyllic landscape features lush green meadows, majestic mountains, and the crystal-clear waters of the Lidder River.

The valley is a favorite for photographers and filmmakers, as its beauty seems to leap right out of a fairytale. If you're a nature enthusiast, take time to explore the valley on foot. There are small eateries where you can grab a snack, and for those looking to extend their stay, the JKTDC guest house offers overnight accommodations with stunning views of the valley.
