A Scenic Walk Through Our Apple Orchards

Right in front of our village stands a beautiful hill where the local landowners have developed vast stretches of agricultural land. These long, fertile slopes provide ideal conditions for farming, and over the years, people have worked incredibly hard to establish thriving apple orchards here. Our family also owns one of these orchards.

Growing apples is not an easy task. Apple trees require constant care because apples are highly sensitive and prone to infections. Even a minor disease can significantly reduce the quality of the fruit, causing it to lose its commercial value. That is why regular visits to the orchards and close monitoring of the trees are essential throughout the growing season.

The video I am sharing today was filmed from the highest point of this hill. From there, you can enjoy breathtaking views of our village as well as several neighboring villages. The scenery was especially mesmerizing because soft clouds covered parts of the sky, making the entire landscape look even more beautiful.

I actually visited the orchard with one of my close friends, who also owns an orchard on the same hill. Our main purpose was to inspect the apple crop and estimate how much fruit we might harvest by the end of this year. Many fruit traders start purchasing apple orchards well before the harvest season, investing early and making their profits later.

We made this plan in the afternoon. At first, my friends were not very interested, but after a little convincing, they finally agreed. Together, we headed towards the beautiful Lohalipora hillside, where lush apple orchards stretch across the slopes and panoramic views of the surrounding countryside unfold in every direction.

You can see all of this for yourself in the video. I hope it gives you a glimpse of just how beautiful this place is and how stunning the surrounding landscapes of Kashmir truly are.
