Minimarg Astore Valley Heaven on Earth
- 7 years ago
With the sun out in full blazing glory and the treeless plateau of Deosai lending no place to hide, the weight on my back was bearing down hard. It was impossible to keep pace with the occasional cloud that chanced the wide open blue skies, providing a fleeting glimpse of a shadow.
From Astore valley, there are three options to enter into the beautiful Neelum valley which are Kalapani Pass, Shounter Pass and the Kamri Pass. Out of these three, Kalapani and shounter passes are open while Kamri pass is restricted because of the army presence and close proximity of LOC. The trek starts from Dudgai village which is at 2-3 hours drive from Minimarg along with the Kamri river. Dudgai is the last village at the border and is the place where Kamri river enters into the Guraiz valley in Indian occupied Kashmir where it becomes Kishinganga before entering back in Azad Kashmir at Taobutt adopting the name Neelum. From dudgai, the trek starts along wit the Kamri stream and ascends steeply for 3-4 hours up to the pass at 3650 meters altitude where an army post is also located. From this top, the trek descends and passes through one of the thicket and untouched forests in Kashmir. The total travel time from Kamri pass to Taobutt village is 8-9 hours therefore a camp is recommended.
