Apart from Uri, Kupwara is another place that deserves your attention. It is home to beautiful valleys such as the Lolab valley and the largest Alpine Valley in Kashmir, the Bangus Valley. At Kupwara, you can actually walk along the Kishenganga River and see activities across the border in Pakistan-occupied Kasmir. Fascinating, isn’t it?
