Dubjan wasn’t on any list — someone in the group just said “let’s go here” and that was the whole plan. Shopian is apple country, and by the time we turned off the main road the orchards had swallowed the horizon in every direction.
[Replace this paragraph with the actual drive and arrival — what season it was, whether the trees were in bloom or heavy with fruit, what the village itself looked like coming in.]
We ended up parked by an orchard for most of the afternoon. [Replace this sentence with what you actually did — walked through the trees, talked to a farmer, ate something someone had packed, sat and did nothing.] Nobody was in a hurry to leave, which is usually the sign a trip went right.
[Replace this closing paragraph with a specific detail that stuck with you — a smell, a sound, something someone said — the kind of thing you only remember because you were actually there.]
Good to know: Dubjan isn’t set up for tourists in any organised way — no formal stops or guides, just orchards and village roads, which is exactly the appeal if you’re driving out with friends rather than following an itinerary.
