Who knew that the most disputed Land would be the MOST BEAUTIFUL Land and take our breath away and leave us dazzled...We have never seen heaven, but if does exist then without any doubt it should be like Kashmir...
Mind-blowing, Mesmerizing, Enthralling...ahh...the words are just not enough to describe this heavenly abode and add on to this are the Kashmiri people..Simple, humble, Polite, fearless, generous,helpful...etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.
THANKS A TON to Travel Triangle and Milli Groups for making this trip a most memorable one and in giving us a chance to experience all these. Booking with Travel Traingle was the first best decision we took in planning out this trip. We being a group of four females, safety and security were of the utmost concern to us and what Milli Groups provided us is exactly what we expected. Thanks to Heena ma'am for everything; for clarifying all our doubts, for listening to us, for guiding us whenever needed. Everything, including the stay, the Driver, the Guides were the BEST and not to forget within our budget.
First place we visited was Sonmarg. We were awestruck with the beauty.We did think that the sightseeing charges of the local drivers were too much and we tried to bargain. But once we were back from Zero point the only thought that crossed our minds was ..”How much risk these people must be taking to take us there..The hardwork, the effort they put in and to ask little more for survival when tourism is the only means of earning for them..Is it all not acceptable? Would we not do it? We were told that Sonmarg remains closed for 6 months so they earn only for 6 months..So is it not justified for them to ask slightly more from the tourist just to make a living?”
Even the Ponywalas who took us to thajiwas, Pahalgham, Yusmarg..Their hard work we just can’t overlook. We don’t bargain when we go to malls, why bargain with these hardworking folks. If one can afford definitely we should pay them ...not out of pity..but coz they truly deserve it..
Second day we visited Pahalgham and then third was Yusmarg. We could not visit Gulmarg as the Gondola Rides were closed for maintenance. We were a little sad coz of this, but then we thought that may be this land wants us to visit again and definitely we will ...not just once but many many times....and it will be through Travel Traingle for sure.
Coming back was the most painful experience. Some thoughts that kept on popping up..."Wish I was born in this Place..Wish I can put little bit of Kashmir in a bottle and take it home and see it everyday...Wish I can take a Little bit of Fresh air from here in a bottle and smell it every day".Everyone should visit this place atleast once in lifetime. Best trip we ever had till date....
And Last but not the least.....Some Packing Tips...Do Try to follow J
- Please check your bags if you have hidden any fear anywhere. Please unload it before coming here. It’s really a safe place and not what you see through media eyes. Kashmiri people ROCK!!
- Pack a little bit of more time, little more energy, little bit of patience and open mind as well and that’s it you will experience magic as never before in this beautiful land and will be left bewitched by its breathtaking beauty.
