visa2explore's video: Ep 5 Pahalgam -Gem of Kashmir Betaab Valley Chandanwadi Aru valley Things to do in Pahalgam

After exploring so many tourist destinations of Kashmir, we found Pahalgam sightseeing to be the best. We went to Pahalgam, Kashmir at the right time bcoz we got a chance to see a mix of clear day, greenery and snowfall. If you have missed the earlier episodes of kashmir, it would be better if you see them from EP - 1, so you will not miss out of continuity.
