Neelum Valley Kashmir

type="html">

I made a quick trip to Kashmir's Neelum valley. Kashmir isdisputed region between India and Pakistan, only Pakistani nationals with IDcan enter the region. However, other nationals need permission prior toarrival. Neelum valley is beautiful valley streching 140km along with Neelumriver, valley runs parrallel to Kaghan valley, curvey road often comes acrossindian boarder areas, during bad days it is impossible to travel on this road.

We were able to travel till Taobat, which is last village ofNeelum valley and the end of the road. From Taobat, adventure seekers andnomads continue on feet to enter glorious Gilgit Baltistan Region.

Narrow and bumpy road passes through forests enriched withCedar Deodar trees and beautiful villages with amazing Kashmir style woodenhouses, maize fields surround these villages. Each village has its own hydralelectricity plant built on small waterfalls, just enough to light up around 50houses. Ancient Budhist University is located at Sharda which suggest deep connectionof region with rich historic background.
