Breezy, light and enchanting. These words define my trip. 15 days in the hills felt a lot less to me when I came back. The first stop was the Katara Vaishno Mahadevi Temple (No photography was allowed), very thrilling walking up a hill covering around 32 kms up and down. Whew! Talk about a healthy walk! We then went to main city Srinagar from where we went to the local gardens, Dargahs (Religious temples), boating at the Dal lake. From there was Pahalgaon - Land with water everywhere. We stayed there for some time and then we came back to Jammu and that's it. End of our trip.

The only tip I would give to fellow travelers going here would be, be ready to go without water in some of these places. No efficient water systems. Ciao!
