About this vlog
This vlog was shot on 2nd of September during my Kashmir trip. We started our journey from Islamabad to Ganga Choti.
Description
Ganga Choti is a textured peak with lush green meadows and forest. It is located at an altitude of 3045 meters approx on Pir Panjal Range of lower Himalayas. Being at an high altitude, its temperature is always low.
Historically speaking, Gangadevi, also known as Gangambika, was a princess in the Hindu Vijayanagara Empire during the 14th century. Her husband, Kumara Kampana, was the son of King Bukka Raya. One story involving the sage Jahnu tells of his confrontation with the powerful Ganga River. Seeing his fields devastated and his penance disrupted by her waters, he responded by consuming all of her water to punish her. To cease her destructive rampage against those who had wronged him, she swallowed her waters and departed for another realm, never to return. This is the origin story of the Ganga River, shaped by the actions of the angered sage Jahnu. Remarkably, Gangadevi's tale offers insights into the river's earthly journey, including its source in a specific mountain range."
Sudhan gali, means the “ Street of Sudhans”. It is a village located in Bagh district, Azad Kashmir. It is at an elevation of approximately 7,500 feet (2,286 meters) above sea level, making it a cool and pleasant destination, especially during the summer months. Also this place is blessed with lush green landscapes and stunning views.
Bagh, being one of the district of Azad Kashmir is knowns for its stunning views, lush green valleys, forests and snow- capped peaks. It is situated at the northern part of Azad Kashmir. It also shares borders with several other districts in Azad Kashmir, including, Muzaffarabad, Neelum and Poonch.
Some key points.
- There are several steep turns, so it's
essential to exercise caution when driving.
- 4x4 vehicles and motorcycles with an
engine capacity above 125cc can easily
reach the Ganga Top.
- Be sure to pack warm clothing, as the
temperatures there are quite low.
- Plan to reach Sudhan Gali before nightfall,
as weather conditions at Ganga Top can be
unfavorable.
