Valleys

                       Neelam Valley                                                  Neelam valley is one of many mesmerizing  vallies of Azad Kashmir which is named as heaven on earth because of its jaw dropping beauty. It's name “ Neelam”  is derived from a stone which is very precious just like this valley.And if you explore Neelam valley precisely you will get to know the reason for Valley being linked to this precious stone and also you will be supportive of the fact that it is undoubtedly not a lie to call Kashmir as heaven on earth.   Neelam valley is located north of Muzafrabad in Neelam district.  River neelam passes through neelam valley the valley stretches to 144 kilometers in length. 

 From sky touching snow-capped peaks to deep water falls, from loud gushing rivers to calm flowery gardens from lush green wide plains to thick beautiful Forests this valley has it all what makes it heaven and it's phenomenal beauty lies in its calmness of the place and simplicity of its residents who welcome tourists so warmly and with so much compassion that it makes everyone fall in love with the valley and its people in a matter of seconds.However this valley is not easily accessible as roads are not in a good condition but this is also a blessing in disguise as it prevents the valley from becoming a mainstream picnic spot that in turns keeps the serenity of the place alive. Main tourist attractions of Neelam valley include Arang Lel, Athmuqam, Taobat, Kel, Keran, Sharda, Ratti Galli lake etc. Among these many places are not accessible through regular road therefore jeeps and horses are available for the tourists to reach these areas.

                              FAIRY MEADOWS                                         If you are planning for a perfect tourist destination in Pakistan then stop worrying and start packing your bags to leave  for fairy meadows because this place has it all what is required to be a perfect tourist destination. And I am thoroughly convinced that you will not be dissatisfied or disappointed as far as my suggestion is considered because Fairry meadows is an amalgam of wide grassy plains that are lush green, flowery gardens which spread beautiful colours like a painting, amazing views of the mighty killer mountain Naga Parbat which is covered in snow, ponds of crystal clear water that reflect Naga Parbat like a mirror, horses and sheep grazing in the fields and birds singing songs in tree tops. Due to all of these phenomenal features of Fairy Meadows I consider it as among the top 10 places of Pakistan worth visiting once in a lifetime.

Fairy Meadows the name itself is perfect in the sense that this place is truly like that grassland what u used to imagine while listening to fairytales when you were a child. To reach this astonishing place you need to park your cars at Raikot bridge which is 55 kilometers away from Chilas on Karakoram highway, after that you will be taken to village Tato through a 15 kilometers long jeep track which is very adventurous and daring experience. After this there is a 5 kilometers long hiking trail which takes up to three to four hours to reach Fairy Meadows, you can use horses if you can't hike for that long. This grassland is located in the Raikot valley at one end of Raikot glacier which orignates from Naga Parbat.
