Meanwhile, this is not the first time that Mr Solheim has been left awestruck by the beauty of "Incredible India". Earlier this month, the diplomat shared a video showing Bangus Valley, located in the Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir.  The short video showed a clear-water stream rushing past a hilly meadow as horses blissfully grazed amid the lush green grass. "Incredible India! This heaven is located in Jammu and Kashmir, called Bangus Valley," Mr Solheim wrote in the caption.
