7 months agoFantastic photographic place. Pleasant environment clear sky could see snow on the mountains ⛰️. Entry gate has some nominal fees but since this is a tourist place lot of self declared guides and agents running around there. There is no control or cap on their activities and rates. Have to do lot of negotiations. Wheelchair ride is also available. Prices differ from time to time. You will get bread pattice or pakoda or Maggi with tea 🍵 coffee ☕️. Ofcourse rates are quite high. One should visit this place.

2 years agoI visited Aru Valley first in Pahalgam with my wife and 2YO daughter. This place is very serene, and wearing two layers is enough in May. My daughter enjoyed horse riding alone for a full 20 minutes. We didn't visit Mini Switzerland due to time constraints and planned to visit Chandanwari and Betab Valley. The views are good.
