Avoid. Depressing place
Horrid place. Surrounded by such beauty and wilderness, this is literally a fenced off field, full of rubbish. You are dropped off by your taxi, run the gauntlet of pony ride salesmen, only to end up in grassy area surrounded by fences, with a load of other bemused people. Avoid this place, and seriously, pick up some rubbish, it is disgusting.

The least beautiful valley
The least beautiful valley One thing in whole Kashmir I like is the fixed rate of taxi in Pahalgam.No bargaining and you have to choose your type of vehicle according to price, but most of the time they say that lower end vehicles are not available and you have to take SUVs, which costs you 3200/- for 3 spots(Betaab Valley, Chandanwari and Aru Valley).Betaab Valley and Chandanwari is in same route and worth seeing. But you may skip Aru Valley. It is on another route, long distance nothing to see there. Here to mention that in Pahalgam, you can’t take your cab from Srinager to visit places in Pahalgam.You have to take local taxis like in Sonamarg. Aru Valley is the last scenic village of the Lidder Valley.On the way to valley, you see the spots which are there in the list shown by cab driver for whole day visit of Pahalgam.So no need to take a whole day visit.The vechicles are parked at some distance.River Point is quite nearby and good to visit. You can walk on your own till that point very easily. Why I wrote you can skip it as most places are fenced off.The place where people are allowed is too crowded.

By Far the most scenic place around Pahalgam
A valley in it's truest sense, very picturesque, Surrounded by great snow views, The drive to the valley in itself is very beautiful. There were very few tourists there at the time, an experience not to be missed.

Journey is more beautiful than destination
Aru village is a tourist village which is located around 12 kms from Pahalgam. The journey from Pahalgam to Aru village has probably the best views of the Valley, beautiful meadows, mountain, lakes and river on one side. Sometimes the journey is more beautiful than the destination, which is applied for this road trip. The village is the bank of Aru River and has beautiful views all around. Must visit place when travelling to Kashmir.
