21 Stunning Pictures of the Bike Journey to North-West Kashmir #adventureactivity #ontheroad

A blissful sunset and shikara ride at Dal Lake, Srinagar

Although highway between Srinagar and Kupwara is quite busy, the landscape is a respite

Another mesmerising sunset from the banks of Talri river at Kupwara

A view point after crossing Kupwara town, but before Kralpora

The entire route is marked by the intermittent streams

Riding on these roads with such scenery is a complete bliss

I took a wrong turn and got inside a hauntingly beautiful pine forest

Because of the unplanned detour, reached a perfect picnic spot

Start of the Bungus Valley

The entire stretch of riding up to Sadhna Top and beyond that is quite challenging with sharp hairpin bends and dangerous dropoffs

Mountains covered with pine trees and snow are always hypnotic to me

Taking a break and appreciating the landscape at one of the many hairpin bends before reaching Sadhna Top (aka Sadhna Pass)

With that view all the time, it is impossible to not fall in love with this route

At Sadhna Top, just before the Army Check Post

Route after Sadhna Top crosses many tiny villages before reaching Tangdhar
