The 3 big ones


There are three places which you cannot miss when you go to kashmir . All these places are less than 100 kms from srinagar so it can be covered in one day . I wud suggest spending atleast 2 days in each of these places so you don’t need to cramp your schedule and you get to feel the place in a better way . The 3 places im talkin about are sonmarg , pehelgham , and gulmarg . Gulmarg is the closest to Srinagar . In all these places you are taken to the snow mountains . Reaching these places , the only mode of transport is a horse ride . The ideal time to visit these places are on summer , in winter usually the roads are closed for heavy snowing and the scenaries are goes behind the snow . All these places have ice sports like skying , sledging , skating and many more . In winters , if the roads are closed you have helicopter services . Gulmarg is best known for its winter sports and it has a high quality golf course . Sonmarg is famous for the glaciers , you just go wow seeing the place . Pehelgham is the picture perfect place , apart from scenaries you experience rafting . I had a gr8 time rafting on the down stream .
