EP.2 Kashmir Trip When will I become a tourist? 🇮🇳 Let's continue on the second day after getting a good rest. I was very impressed with the hotel, the bedroom was good with 10 degrees Celsius. And the view of the house next door that looked like it was not finished yet. Today's plan is to go to Pahalgam, a place called Mini Switzerland. 🌲🗻 When I saw the plan, I felt so happy that I had to get a good view for sure. The journey took about 2 hours. I have to admit that the view along the way was very good. There were flower fields, mountain views, apple orchards. But then the tourist feeling ended when we arrived at the event. When I got off the car, it felt like I was at a horse market because there was an option to ride a horse in, but if I walked, it would take about 2 hours without telling me what kind of path. 🚶🐎 The price was different for how many places to go. I wanted to go to only one place, the highlight, but the horse owner refused. Our local guide tried to help negotiate the price back and forth until it ended at 1,500 rupees per person to go to 4 places. It was quite expensive. When I got in, I immediately understood why I didn't give up at just one point. Because points 1-3 are just passing through, I had to go. I felt like I was in trouble, right? We're in the Arab world now, right? 😂 The first peak was that the horses were so dirty that I was confused about what was going on along the way to get there. When I started going in, oh my gosh, there were only rocks, cliffs, steep roads, holes, wet roads, and mud. Oh, at that time, I was like, I'll give up. 1500 rupees is so pitiful for the horses, but the horses are really good at remembering the way and stepping on the rocks very well. But the horses looked exhausted and some of them fell to their knees, both the horse and the person. Some of them even broke their hind legs just standing up. When we passed each point we chose, they stopped so that we could take a few short photos. But before we reached the highlight, we screamed until our mouths were dry. Just imagine the steep cliffs and potholes with almost 30-40 horses walking past each other. It was so entertaining. To be honest, the Mini Switzerland point wasn't that amazing when we arrived. The next peak was that the exit was mud that sucked your feet, and everyone was rushing to get out. Plus, I met a horse that was standing close to me. I was not tall enough to reach the horse's butt, so I got its tail swung at my face 😭 At that time, I was a mess and smelled like shit. I had to be calm and walk through the mud. My hands had to fight with other people to keep my balance. It was so tiring to get to the starting point!!! On the way back, the horse trainer asked for a small tip, but I refused. I was fighting, so I wanted to give this much. As soon as I got back to the hotel, I quickly washed my pants and shoes, otherwise the smell and stains would stick to my body for a long time. It was a real evening activity. I sat and scrubbed, wiped, and used a hair dryer. But in the evening, it was good that I got coconut ice cream on the side of the road and beer to comfort me that day. The question in my mind was the same as before: When will I become a tourist??? #KeepGoingxIndia #KashmirReview #Kashmir #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck

Kashmir in winter is amazing and majestic. Day 1 KUL-DEL-SXR Touchdown in Srinagar at late evening Day 2 GULMARG I took both phases of Gondola to the Apharwat Peak. Here I learn how to ski. Day 3 SONAMARG Riding snowmobile to the Thajiwas Glacier was adventurous. Day 4 PAHALGAM Riding pony to Baisaran Valley was a new exprience for me. Day 5 SXR-DEL-KUL Overall it was an amazing travel to experience Paradise on Earth.

#favouriteitinerary Just outside Leh, the terrain transforms into a surreal moonscape, unlike anything else in Ladakh. The eroded hills near Lamayuru Monastery display smooth, wind-carved formations that resemble the craters and ridges of the lunar surface. Pale yellow and beige rock formations stretch for miles, shaped by centuries of geological activity. The absence of vegetation and the play of light and shadow across the barren slopes add to the illusion of standing on another planet. This dramatic landscape is best viewed at sunrise or sunset when the changing colors highlight its alien beauty, making it a must-visit for those seeking Ladakh’s most unusual natural wonders.

#hiddengems Kashmir Valley, with its breathtaking landscapes, snow-capped peaks, and serene lakes, is a paradise for travelers. The iconic Dal Lake with its charming houseboats, the vibrant tulip gardens of Srinagar, and the adventure-packed slopes of Gulmarg make it a dream destination. Beyond the tourist spots, Pahalgam’s lush meadows, the untouched beauty of Gurez Valley, and the tranquil Tarsar Marsar Lakes offer pure serenity. Whether it’s skiing in winter, trekking in summer, or sipping Kashmiri Kahwa by a fireplace, Kashmir’s magic is unforgettable. Every season unveils a new charm, making it truly the “Crown of India”! ✨🏞️ #myitinerary #familytravel #naturalwonders #travel #couplestrip #staycation #seascapes

Explored the gorgeous mountainous region of Kashmir and everyone tells me they didn’t expect India to look like this. The weather here was cooling with gorgeous snow mountains, beautiful flower fields and meadows. 🛌 Grand Mamta (Srinagar) & Hotel Baisaran (Pahalgam) 🍽️ Local Barbecue! And the amazingly sweet Apple Juice 📸 Dal Lake, Gulmarg, Beetaab Valley, Pony ride to Baisaran Valley 🛍️ Pashmina Scarves, Saffron, all kinds of nuts 💡Tips: Domestic flight from New Delhi (and extended the trip to Jaipur) Don’t book with a tour company, book a transport company instead to drive you around. May wish to avoid the Muslim fasting month Remember to book the gulmarg cable car tickets in advance Nothing is free, so don’t anyhow accept random offers like photo taking, explanation on landmarks or unloading luggage from cars. Check if the orchards are in season. (When we were there, no fruits were in season so there was no orchard visit at all) #travel #kashmir #india

#tripdiscount ♥️Srinagar♥️Srinagar is a city in Jammu and Kashmir. It is a province that borders Pakistan. There are many riots, bombs, and road closures. If you ask if there are any, I have to say that I have. I would like to thank the local soldiers for taking good care of us. This city is worth it. It is very beautiful and has a variety of tourist attractions. We had soldiers take us around, protect us, and take us to see the city. They also arranged a tour in the area. When we went in March, the weather was cold. If you go up to the mountain, you will see snow. ♥️Places to visit in Srinagar♥️ ✨-Dal Lake: There is a Boat House here for us to stay. It is luxurious and the wood carvings are very detailed. What I like is the local food and Jai Shamasala. To get to the boat house, you have to take a Shikara boat. There are many types to choose from. ✨Tulip Garden Srinagar: When we went in March, the weather in this area was very cold. The tulip fields were in full bloom. ✨Shalimar Bagh Kashmir: The garden of the Mughal emperor ✨Sonamarg: This is a place that I like very much. Because it is full of mustard fields, very fragrant with flowers ✨Pahalgam: Switzerland of India You can ride a horse up the mountain, see the grasslands, see the snowy mountains ✨Gulmarg: It is a place to play in the snow.

We went to most famous spots in Kashmir like Pahalgam, Sonamarg and Gulmarg. The locals there are very nice and they certainly keep the places clean. It was almost the beginning of winter so quite cold. The offside is always the tipping and tough bargains. Kashmir is a safe place for anyone to travel solo. The foods mostly contain spices and taste great too. Loved the golgappe! All in all. Its not a one time travel spot. Being away makes you miss everything about this specially place! Till we meet again Kashmir! #kashmir #gulmarg #sonamarg #Pahalgam #india

#2024wish Dodal Glacier, also known as Dodal Chasma Glacier, is located in the northernmost region of Kashmir, specifically in the Skardu District of Gilgit-Baltistan. It is one of the prominent glaciers in the Karakoram Mountain Range. The Dodal Glacier stretches over a distance of approximately 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) and lies at an elevation of around 3,900 to 6,100 meters (12,800 to 20,000 feet) above sea level. This massive glacier is situated within the larger Baltoro Glacier system, which is known for being one of the longest glaciers outside the polar region. Like many glaciers in the region, Dodal Glacier has been affected by the impacts of climate change. It has experienced significant melting and retreat over the years, contributing to rising water levels and threatening the delicate ecological balance of the area. Due to its location amidst the breathtaking Karakoram Range, Dodal Glacier is often visited by mountaineers, adventurers, and trekkers. The area surrounding the glacier is known for its rugged beauty, with towering peaks, deep valleys, and pristine alpine landscapes. Many trekkers choose to undertake the challenging Baltoro Glacier trek, which takes them through Dodal Glacier and other glaciers in the region, leading to iconic peaks like K2, Broad Peak, and Concordia. The Dodal Glacier serves as an important water source, feeding into the Braldu River, which eventually joins the mighty Indus River. The water from these glacier-fed rivers is vital for agriculture and sustains the livelihoods of people living downstream. Preserving the integrity of Dodal Glacier and other glacial ecosystems is crucial not only for their ecological significance but also for the long-term sustainability of the communities that rely on them. Efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change, promote sustainable tourism, and conserve these important natural resources are necessary to ensure their preservation for future generations. #localguides I wish to visit Germany in 2024 #WishGermanyTrip
