Kashmir… The Valley of Fun and Adventure
pahalgam-valley A Kashmiri lady, who lives in the same building that I live in, once over a cup of tea said something that urged me to go and visit Kashmir. She said “go to Kashmir“, not because several brochures, websites and magazines tell you to, but because you should!” I have never seen beauty so divine and perfect anywhere, but in Kashmir. The amiable people and the heartwarming hospitality add to the charm of the valley. So, what to see in Kashmir?? Well, you have four great destinations for spending holidays in Kashmir; the first is Pahalgam, second is Gulmarg, third is Sonmarg and fourth is Srinagar. Pahalgam is a perfect destination for families looking to spend some leisure time; there are many hotels and resorts in Pahalgam that offer great value for money. If you have kids older than 8 years, you can go river rafting in Lidder River or skiing in Aru Valley. Angling and leisure walks are other activities you can try out to when in Kashmir.Gulmarg couldn’t charm you more! Set amidst lofty snow-clad mountains, Gulmarg offers holidayers the time of their life. A major attraction in Gulmarg is the cable car ride to and from Kongdoori and Apparwath Peak. The view from the top is breathtaking! Though, Sonmarg is a bit of an offbeat destination for families, yet it has lot of interesting things to offer. Camping, tent-staystrekking to Thajiwas Glacier, fishing, and strolls along the lake side stroll are some of the things you can do in Sonmarg. Our fourth destination Srinagar is amongst the best places to go on a summer holiday with family in India. Besides being the state capital, Srinagar is also the cash cow of Jammu & Kashmir tourism. Shikara ride, houseboat stay and water-skiing (if your kids are minimum 12 years of age) are some activities that can be enjoyed with family in Srinagar. For sightseeing, you can go to Mughal Gardens namely, Chashma-e-Shahi, Shalimar Bagh and Nishat Garden, Hazratbal Shrine and Hari Parbat Fort.

Dear Saurabh,
Hope you are doing fine. I received your letter last week, and I am glad that you have finally decided to visit my town – Mumbai. Mumbai is a great a town reflecting the Indian culture and values but at the same time is modern. Personally, I am sure that you will have a fantastic time and will create a lot of fun memories that you will cherish for lifetime.
I understand that you planning to visit Mumbai in December, which is perfect as the weather will not be too harsh. In terms of places to visit, there are tons of tourist places to visit however, I would like to recommend few must historic places that shouldn’t miss like Gateway of India - an architectural marvel constructed by British, Colaba Causeway – shopping hub for antiques and Jehangir Art Gallery – showcasing all modern art and paintings.
Many tourists have a notion that accommodation in Mumbai is expensive, which isn’t true. There are many hotels in Mumbai that are affordable and comfortable for stay. I would recommend few hotels like Hotel Fariyas, Hotel Gordon House and Hotel Grand. These hotels are centrally located thus making travelling easy and convenient.
Please share your flight ticket details, I would be happy to receive you at the airport. Give my regards to your parents.
Regards,
