PAHALGAM... A Beautiful Place...

Today we went to PAHALGAM, a very beautiful place....!!
It took us around 2 & half hr to reach there from our stay place, by 4 wheeler...!!
We left from here at 10am and on the way, ate kachori while watching the Jehlam river, dried apple and walnut trees, fields of saffron plant, Lidder vally & Lidder river and had a famous juice kind of - named 'KAWA' (not sure about its spelling)...!!
It was juice of some powder in hot water and added chopped almonds..!!
It was sweet in taste..!!
The scenery was very beautiful & temperature must be around 3 - 4 degrees...!!
We had to go up on the hill, so we took lot of scenery pics while going up and also while coming down...!!

Finally, we reached at a place up on the hill, PAHALGAM VALLEY...!!
But beyond that only horses could go, as beyond that there was a lot of snow and cold breeze that could really freeze us..!!
The cost of per person on per horse was Rs. 1000...!! Too much..!!
My dad bargained, but then didn't allow we 3 brother - sisters to go..!! :'(
We then did some breakfast of coffee and methi ke parathe that mom had packed from home...!!
I also made a call to one of my very good friend & i was so happy to talk to him..!! :)
Then we did some shopping, buyed 2 shawls and 2 stoles and then went for lunch in a dhaba..!!
And menu was rajma, mixed sabzi, dalfry & jeera rice with roti and it was too tasty.. :)

Then we went to see a shiva temple & its garden was covered with snow..!!
It was really very beautiful..!! :)
My sister, brother and me played in snow, threw small snow balls on each other and also clicked many photos...!! My parents were also enjoying with us.. :)

Then we moved back on our way to hotel...!!
On our way back, we stopped at an archeological place which was again a shiva temple - "Avantiswamin Temple"...!!
It was carved from rocks, surrounded by 5 different temples, which was again surrounded by a wall having 69 different temples...!!
It was a beautiful place..!!
We also buyed a pack of seeds of a flower, which grows throughout the year ( i don't remember the name )

By evening, 6.30 pm, we reached hotel, had dinner and now sleeping time.. :)
