TURKEY’s SECRET - and Its Cheaper, Better, UnTouched = SOĞANLI VALLEY

Cappadocia is getting overcrowded and expensive and has become a typical tourist destination. On my second trip to Turkey, I found a new place called Soğanlı, which is hardly 50 kilometres away from Göreme, Ortahisar and other hotspots of the Cappadocia region. The inter-connected and multi-storeyed cave system of Soganli is FREE for everyone compared to the 20-30 Euros tourists pay in Göreme. Soğanlı is a comparatively lesser-known destination, so there is almost no crowd there. A few travel agencies have operated Hot Air Balloons there, which is a way cheaper alternative to Cappadocia hot air balloons. Watch this video to learn how I reached Soğanlı from Ortahisar. What are the places in Soğanlı and the history behind the place? #TravelVlog #Mountaintrekker #Turkey

ABOUT ME
My name is Varun, and I am a full-time traveller. I quit my job to follow my dreams of exploring the world. I love solo travelling and meeting new people. After travelling extensively throughout India for several years, I decided to venture out of my country and explore other parts of the world. I started creating travel videos in Hindi, which are packed with travel tips and tricks focused explicitly on budget travel and sustainable tourism. My dream is to inspire people to explore this beautiful world and learn ways to make it a better place to live in. I was honoured with the prestigious 'National Tourism Award' by the Government of India for my contributions to promoting tourism. Thanks to my viewers, I now receive invitations from around the world to visit and showcase their amazing places.

Surah Al-Baqarah - 83 " And ˹remember˺ when We took a covenant from the children of Israel ˹stating˺, “Worship none but Allah; be kind to parents, relatives, orphans and the needy; speak kindly to people; establish prayer; and pay alms-tax.” But you ˹Israelites˺ turned away-except for a few of you-and were indifferent."

Actually they help you to travel places because these guys are from AFAD department which deals in disaster management and if you know Turkiye face an earthquake in past year and our medical and other aid troops were there in turkiye to help them in their difficult times so these guys have saw our troops and aid gesture towards turkiye that's why they did favour. Also I gather this information from internet.

[@SalahudinBey-yy5mf]

I try to differ they are by nature friendly not bcoz India sent aid to Türkiye after the earthquake. They will help any foreigner bcoz hospitality is in their culture
