This was absolutely worth the detour from Pahalgam towards Srinagar. Must visit if you are in Kashmir. 2 hours ride/drive from Srinagar gets you here, or plan to visit on your way to/from Pahalgam. (From wiki- Aharbal lies in the Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir. It is located on the Veshu River, a tributary of the Jehlum River, in an alpine valley covered in pine and fir trees within the Pir Panjal mountains. It lies at an altitude of 2266 metres above sea level. @kashmir_travelogue @royalenfield @airasiaindia @incredibleindia #shotoniphone #kashmir #pahalgam #aharbal #waterfall #india #incredibleindia #biker (at Aharbal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUcbb4DFHaJo_OBhhmI-OZEM1_bkJYt8TqyA2Q0/?utm_medium=tumblr

This was an incredible road trip!, 11 days of exploring North Karnataka, lot of stories, learnt some history, experience one can’t get otherwise. Explore when you can, you will be surprised with your own ability to overcome some challenges, to make new friends and to experience the sheer excitement of the drive or the ride before you reach destination! I rate this as one of the top road trips so far, with my ever reliable SX4 backing me up. Pls DM if you need more information about Chitradurga, Hampi, Bijapura, Badami, Aihole, Dandeli, Kumta, Udupi.. will be sharing more pics soon. Used @bookingcom for accommodations @marutisuzukiofficial , of course my SX4! Places where I stayed : @sunriseguesthouse_sanapur @karnatakaworld kstdc hotels Thank you @snikitag for finding a place in Dandeli!

The famous Arch! Tasman Arch is what’s left of the roof of a large sea cave created by wave action over thousands of years. The pressure of water and compressed air, sand, and stones acted on vertical cracks (joints) in the cliff, dislodging slabs and boulders. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #explore #onelife #wanderlust #solotrip #solotravel #shotononeplus #travelgram #oneworld #australia #backpacker #seeaustralia #tigerairau #seetheworld #worldtravel #theglobewanderer #mobilephotography @oneplustech #oneplus #drive #airasia @airasia @airasiago @airasiabig #airasiapotw @tigerair.aus @tigerairaustralia #tripadvisor #tripmaximizer #discovertasmania #arch #rock #geology #oneworld (at Tasmans Arch)
