Kashmir - The paradise on earth

After planning for almost 20 years at last I made my first trip to Kashmir. This was a second visit for my parents but first visit for me. There are numerous blogs/vlogs pertaining to Kashmir tour plans. So, I am not thinking about making another. But there are a few tips I would like to share. Please keep in mind, prepaid SIM card doesn't work there. You have to take a post paid Sim card. Airtel, Jio and BSNL are pretty good. You will also not receive any OTPs, so plan all your payments etc. accordingly. Everything you buy or rent is charged high , so you need to brush up your bargaining skills. There are different types of scenic beauty throughout the year and unique in its own way. You can decide before hand which scenic beauty you would be interested in and plan your trip accordingly. If you are interested in witnessing snow fall then winter ( December, January, February) is the best season. For the Tulip 🌷 garden and flowers Mid March to Mid April is the season. If you are interested in Apple or Red Chinnar 🌲 then visit between October and November. And Kashmir being a hill station receives rainfall through out the year. So, you need to carry umbrella ☔, shades and winter clothes simultaneously. The scenic beauty of this place is one of its kind and mesmerizing
