We visited the ABC valley on 2 nd day of Pahalgam. It was beautiful. The mountains, surroundings it was all breathtaking.
The view from the road (top) to betaab valley was much more beautiful than the inside of valley.
We walked and talked a lot.
We played with snow at chandanwari, also visited the first step of amarnath yatra.
We had a driver from the taxi stand. Mr Mohammed Shafi Wani number 7006687312 this person was a gem. Even though we were strangers he invited us to his house. He can arrange a wonderful trip even for amernath yatra if you go through him. He is ofcourse a localite and I asked his permission before putting the number.
He also clicked great pictures for our memories.
Having a good driver on your journey is most important for a peaceful journey. He is the one to go for.
Rest as everyone say Kashmir is heaven and so are these beautiful valleys. It is a must go to place at Pahelgam.

Beautiful village of the Pahalgam region. Nice to ride the pony, however easily walkable, hustle for prices and you will see nice scenery. Do not believe the locals, they have hyped the place to earn from you. However good time to visit from April-October.

This valley is a must visit while visiting Pahalgam with beautiful scenery on way.View of Lidder from top is simply enchanting.It is better to avoid public holidays because of mad crowd at that time.

A good scenic spot for all nature lovers!
As you are standing on the meadows and look around, you are surrounded by large mountains!

Certainly a spot which can be given a miss unless you enjoy being chased by sellers of shawls , suits and stoles. There is no attraction there and is a solid disappointing experience. I am still trying to figure out why I went there and was good that I can recollect of that place.

The Aru Valley is the starting point for going to Lidderwat and other treks. However, for those who just want to have a good mild to moderate grade walk, this is an excellent starting point to do a 3 or 4 hour roundtrip starting from the base of Aru Valley.

Approach to this valley is very narrow lane. We got traffic to reach the point. After seeing Gulmarg,I didn't found this place as attractive as I saw the pics. Just an open park and not maintain properly.

2 pm till evening is very less time. Go to Aru and spend good amount of time there. Walk through the valley rather than hiring a pony. The valley is very beautiful. I would not suggest going to Betaab. It is a waste of time and money. Totally not worth it.
Hope this helps.
Happy travels :)
Cheers!
hi, i am visiting pahalgam on 3 march
can we cover baisaran aru valley and betaab valley in one day?
what is the cost of taxi to aru valley and betaab valley?
how much time will it take to reach baisaran by walking
is paragliding available there if yes then at what cost and where?

Hello there!
All 3 cannot be covered in one day. It would be a mad rush if you intend to do so. While Aru and Betaab can be covered in a day. You can also add up Chandanwari on this day.
Both Aru and Baisaran need special attention. I would rather recommend that you stay a night in pahalgam and cover both valleys in two separate days.
The collective cost of taxi from Pahalgam to Aru and Betaab is INR 1100/- An additional 400bucks if you add Chandanwari. What you can alternatively do is skip getting into Betaab and simply cover Aru and Chandanwari. You can get a glimpse of Betaab valley on the way to Chandanwari. The valley looks amazing from top. I did not find it worth spending either time or money for Betaab. You may ask the cab driver to make a short 5 mins stop.
Trekking till Baisaran would take 2.5 to 3 hours. It is the best route and one of the most scenic routes.
Unfortnately, I have no idea about the paragliding option.
Hope this is of help to you.
Happy travels :)
Cheers!
