Srinagar Experience: Paradise! yes, it is. Designed and crafted by the Nature, nothing is out of place. Everything that the nature has created is so great and beautiful that one simply marvels in sheer wonder. The length and size of trees. the fragerance of self groomed flowers, the slopes of mountains and the geomatrical accuracy of the larger plants in terms of trimming.
But, human race has made things very pathetic. Looting tactics of all concerned: right from share taxi at Jammu to getting back at Jammu one is to be highly alert and smart to protect his purse and prestige.
Pahalgaon stinks with rotten uncleaned surroundings, Gulmarg is thick with demanding Tatoo owners and Srinagar has herds of looters either near Dal Lake or in the market place selling Amritsar made Pashmina.
But, ultimately nature prevails over man made stupidity.
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Adhhos or Karimi's for ethnic Wazwan; Fried Trot Fish at Dal Lake, Kashmiri Biscuits and Kudru Yakhani.
Activities & things to do: Visit Pahelgaon. Sit in peace at the banks of Lider, listening to the music of water flow.Donot miss a long walk in National Park at Srinagar.
Never miss the Jama Masjid at Srinagar.
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Always prefer to trave by air as the road jourey is disorganised, time taking, tiring and pocket exploiting.
