The clip shared by Norwegian diplomat Erik Solheim captures Bangus Valley, located in the Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir. The short video shows a clear-water stream rushing past a hilly meadow as horses blissfully graze amid the lush green grass.
"Incredible India! This heaven is located in Jammu and Kashmir, called Bangus Valley," Mr Solheim wrote in the caption.
