your holiday in India. Here are a few short video clips of
some of the most popular tourist attractions in
Srinagar.
Video - Driving to Betaab Valley from
Pahalgam - Winding roads & No Safety
barrier!
Betaab Valley is located about 15 kilometers from the
city of Pahalgam. To visit Betaab Valley, tourists can
either ride a pony or take a taxi.
The bulk of the tourists visiting, opt for a taxi, we did.
Those who make a day trip from Srinagar to visit
Pahalgam and Betaab Valley, should keep in mind that
taxis from other areas such as those hired in Srinagar,
are not allowed to go to Betaab Valley. This was done
to protect the local taxi owners.
This video shows the drive you can expect when you
drive up to Betaab Valley from Pahalgam. The drive is
through winding roads with no safety barrier. At times
it feels the car is just about to go over a cliff! but it is
exiting and worth it.
Inside Betaab Valley - Location where
some Bollywood movies have been filmed
According to our guide, Betaab Valley was earlier called
Hajan Valley.
A few Hindi films have been shot in this scenic valley
and after the shooting of the film Betaab, the name of
the valley was changed to Betaab Valley.
This place is indeed beautiful and worth seeing. Go
prepared with food, as there is not much to find there,
yet you can spend the entire day there enjoying the
surroundings.
We found the odd sales persons inside the valley
selling shawls which they insist are Pashmina. They
expect everyone to bargain and start by pricing
everything they show about 500 % higher!
If you show the slightest interest in seeing what they
are selling, be prepared for these guys to follow you for
the duration of your visit.
Enjoy the scenery and do your shopping at an
authorized store.
