Exploring the Beauty of Basho Valley
Basho Valley, located approximately 45 kilometers from Skardu, is a serene and picturesque destination situated at an altitude of around 12,000 feet above sea level. Known for its breathtaking landscapes, lush greenery, snow-capped mountains, and crystal-clear streams, it is a perfect getaway for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts.
Details:
Our journey to Basho Valley began from Skardu, covering the initial part of the distance by car. Before reaching the valley, we came across a suspension bridge made of wood, stretching over a river. This bridge, though simple in appearance, added an adventurous element to the trip. After crossing the bridge, the road became rough, but the powerful local vehicles made it manageable. The scenic route, though challenging, was rewarding with views of the river flowing alongside and glimpses of the lush greenery around.
As we entered Basho Valley, the vibrant greenery and the serene stream flowing through the valley were captivating. To the right, there were comfortable seating areas by the water, where visitors could relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. Locals from nearby villages were present but respectful, allowing us to enjoy the tranquility without any disturbances. The villagers’ eco-friendly lifestyle blended harmoniously with the environment, adding to the charm of the place.
The valley is home to tall, green trees and vibrant flora, enhancing its natural beauty. The snow-capped peaks in the background created a perfect contrast against the greenery. The combination of the flowing water, lush trees, and breathtaking mountain views made it an ideal spot for photography and videography.
Our experience:
we had a great time during the trip to Basho Valley. It was so peaceful and relaxing, away from the noise of the city. We really enjoyed the beautiful scenery, took lots of pictures, and drone shots, rode horses around the area. We also crossed a river, which was a lot of fun. We stayed there until midnight, had a bonfire, and sang songs. It was a memorable day.We have videos and pictures from the trip, and I’ll share the link with you.
