I hope all of you are well. I am also fine, by the grace of Allah. Today I'm going to participate in the Steemit Engagement Challenge S9W3. A Contest is posted in a very beautiful community Steemit Travel with the theme "Experience Exploring Nature". As we all know, everyone is fond of tourism, but we are more fond of travelling to places where the beauty is abundant, and the enjoyment of enjoying the natural beauty is also different.

Name of the Place

---

There are many northern regions in Pakistan that have a lot of beauty, and millions of people go to the northern regions to enjoy this beauty. Among them are Azad Kashmir, Naran Kaghan, Shogran, Gilgit-Baltistan, Chitral, Skardu, and many other such regions. Similarly, I also travelled to many northern regions. My trip to Murree was two to three times, but the place I liked the most was Azad Kashmir because of its beauty. The beautiful colours of nature were scattered, and I was very impressed by her beauty.

I am very fond of travelling to the northern regions, which have a lot of beauty, and I love the regions that have snow along with the beauty. Azad Kashmir is the perfect place for all these things. The fruit trees reflect the beauty of nature, as do some of the beautiful areas that look very cute. I travelled to Azad Kashmir with my family two years ago today. When I first visited Azad Kashmir, I was struck by the beauty of Kashmir, which was loaded with mountains. The beautiful springs were flowing, the valleys and lakes were all describing the beauty there, and then I enjoyed the trip a lot. Because it was my first experience in my life when I visited such a lovely place.

Kashmir is more famous for some of its traditions, as the people there are very hospitable and it is a lush green area where everything is produced in abundance. And most of all, because of its beauty, this place has been given the name "Paradise on Earth". Every year, when the snowfall starts, lakhs and crores of people come to this place to enjoy their tours and make their moments enjoyable and memorable. Chinar trees are abundant in the region of Kashmir, due to which those trees give the region a yellow world and make it look like a paradise.

access to travel or transportation to the location

---

To go to Kashmir we can do our journey in two to three ways in which we can go by Bus, we can also travel by car and also we can travel by plane but these For all methods we have to pay different cost.

---

By Car

---

If I travel to Kashmir by car, it will cost me more because I will have to buy petrol myself. And for that, I will have to pay 20,000 PkR, which is equal to 334 steems.

---

By Bus

---

If I travel by car, the distance from my area to Kashmir is 550 kilometres. As we all know, after the increase in petrol prices, bus ticket prices have also increased, so if I go to Kashmir by bus, it will cost me Rs 4000, which is equivalent to 66 Steem. They will have to pay.

---

By Plane

---

The most comfortable travel is by plane, which I do to Kashmir, and when I travel to Kashmir by plane, it will cover a distance of about three and a half hundred kilometres. And the price of the ticket that I will buy for air travel will be around 30 to 35 thousand rupees, which is equal to 500 hundred steem.

facilities/conditions

---

In the valley of Kashmir, we are provided with all kinds of facilities, like good hotels to stay in, food and drink that are arranged in a good way, and health facilities are also provided.We can take full advantage of the beauty of this valley; this area is very suitable for photography. Besides, there are many water facilities here; we get cold water from springs. In this region, we enjoy rain in both the summer and winter seasons. Snow-laden mountains and fruit-laden trees reflect the beauty of this place. The weather in Azad Kashmir is not uniform.

When summers are very hot, when winters come, the weather becomes very cold, and rains continue in many areas. But most of the rains occur in the months of January and December. But when there is severe heat, due to the heat stress of the mountains, it becomes difficult for the people living there, due to which they migrate to other areas for some time.

Activities you do when in nature

---

When we step into the land of Kashmir, there are many activities to do. The most famous activity is hiking, and hiking in the lush green area is a beautiful sight. Apart from this, paragliding is a popular activity there; tourists from far and wide are fond of paragliding, and horseback riding, which is a must for every visitor, is also the most popular. Some ritualistic activities are also performed there, like when it starts snowing and tourists dance to national songs. Lakes are abundant in the area, so people experience and enjoy the water falls on the banks of the lakes.

what moments of joy and sorrow you feel

---

When entering the Kashmir region, the heart becomes a garden after seeing its beauty: tall trees, high mountains, beautiful valleys, beautiful lakes, and waterfalls—all these are soothing to the eyes, and the beauty of this region is very high. Sadness while going to Azad Kashmir is when we get tired after travelling so much. And then the second thing is that more grief happens when we leave a beautiful place and start coming back. Then our hearts do not want to leave this beautiful and paradise-like area.
