) We have reached Aru valley now Small village is here But, we thought let's have snowball fightrather than roaming in village There are many snow fields enroute we are going there now Feels like I am standing over ice cream I have never experienced anything like this before Such an incredible sight Can not express in words While returning, My leg got stuck in knee height snow Sometimes you don't get judgement So, whenever you are walking over snow, You have to be alert We are in snow field now Here, I believe, river will be there ahead of ridge So, I am walking towards ridge We will have snowball fight here Don't know who owns this fieldWe are like a trespassers We will have snow fight, will also make snowman here Let's go We will go to the ridge first and see if there's river or not I think, there should be river Let's see It's a long field First time ever in Life, I am walking over a snow for such a length So, I am excited I love such offbeat experiences like, walk a length over snow field It's heavenly Do try once whenever you get a chance Temperature is around 2 degree celcius Ample of snow here Snow is around ankle length I have made a mistake to wear sports shoes When you plan to visit Kashmir in winters Do come with water proof hiking / trekking shoes We are very near to the ridge now Let's see what we have ahead of us Ohhhh Yeah.
.
it's a river There's river ahead of ridge It's too steep here We have to be super alert If we slipped, we would be directly into valley There's no mobile signal also.
.
It would be terrible So, experience from a distance if you are near ridge It's the same Lidder river, which turns into Jhelum river ahead It's a long field I am returning back and the moment we were waiting for is here We are going to have snowball fight Snowball fight was intense We are tired now We are making snowman now Now, we are heading to Betab valley Betab valley is famous for Bollywood movies Actually, the name itself is after Bollywood movie Betaab We are entering into Betab valley It's a wonderful valley There's stream to the right Let's explore (Camera shutter sound.
