With travel back on people`s minds, there is a lot to explore inside and outside the country. While one is always looking for offbeat destinations, there are plenty to explore in India, especially if doesn`t have enough time on their hands. In Kashmir, people often go to the more popular spots but among them is a gem that is the Gurez Valley. Situated high in the Himalayas, the valley is known for its turquoise blue rivers, forests and green meadows. 

Because the grandeur valley is closed for six months during the winter due to heavy snowfall, the best time to visit is from April to September when the weather is pleasant. From Srinagar, you can take a 35-minute helicopter ride to the special valley.
