Islamabad to Keran & Upper Neelum — Neelum Valley in Autumn’s Last Light

neelum valley, keran, upper neelum

A peaceful late-autumn journey from Islamabad to Keran and Upper Neelum — filmed on 25 November, when Kashmir’s colours turn golden and winter winds start rolling into the valley.
This is not just a drive… it’s a full travel experience across river bends, bazaars, waterfalls, cold breezes, and some of the most breathtaking mountain walls of Neelum.

From Muzaffarabad’s morning bridges to the calm blue waters of Keran — and finally the climb towards Upper Neelum — this episode captures Kashmir’s hidden jewels in their quiet seasonal transition.
