I too have faced all these problems in Kashmir... The budget was double what I thought....😢
Thanks for giving the valueable suggestion.
You are right, we have faced all the scams and mostly we were cheated. I never come across such level of cheating in any other tourist places. I will never go to Kashmir in future.
Agreed. People scam a lot and lie too much in Kashmir. I've visited in Apr 2024.
I never thought of visiting Kashmir just because I can't benifit those who are against our country
Me too..I will also not go to Kashmir once again...
Itne ache log hai...we went last month.@@asnfhtmlzxsje274
True all the people are after tourists. Cheating them only
Thank you so much. You shared a lot of information and very informative..... we are planning a trip next year...will definitely keep these points in mind ❤❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful ❤
I will definitely check this 👍🏻
Hum log abhi abhi jaake aaye hai...what all you said is very much true..every where commission, tips..hotel valon se lekar driver Tak..bargaining tho karna hi padega..nahi tho loot lenge vo log
Good job.Had seen all types of tips from TH-cam before our trip nd also researched a lot about kashmir nd our pre knowledge helps a lot.Regular travellers will also come in the lootera clutch ,forget about others.Drivers are not at all bothered about ur happy experience.photographers in the digital era charges so illogical amount 😢😢.Try to spend the minimal amount for each, still u ve to bear a lot of expenses.Always shop from laal chowk nd not from Meena bazar of dal lake.
This is so insightful. Thanks for sharing🎉
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was totally cheated by these heartless scammers, I hated it. The driver even tried to make a pass on me in front of my kids. Horrible, but I kept my cool just not to be left somewhere else. Kashmir valley is a valley of lies.
Although it is very beautiful, it is commonly known that people in Himachal also are scammers too.
Thank you so much for this informative video.. it's going to help a lot❤
Glad it was helpful!♥️
बहोत अच्छेसे समझाया आपने,हम लोग जानेवाले है तो बहोत कामकी बाते मालूम पडी. इतना details मे कोई स्कॅम को explain नही करता. Thanks video बनानेपर
अच्छा लगा की आपको काम आएगी ये वीडियो 😊
Very much informative. We faced it. Scam scam scam everywhere.
Each & every one do like this
100% agree!
Thanks for such a knowledgeable video...
Glad you liked it
Aap konse agency se gYe the ??
Nice Video....n detail info .. thanks for it
Glad you liked it 😊♥️
Thank you very much for your video. We saw this video after visiting sonmarg and was misguided as you mentioned. We then saw this and we're cautious about such cases. Tips culture that you mentioned was on point. Thank you so much for your clear and detailed guidance. Helped me a lot.
Glad it was helpful!
Hello. I am currently in Kashmir and this is 100% true. However there are some new things you missed out. 1. Every spot has a multiple guides and they do not leave you even if you say no. If you are firm with them they start taking gods name and guilt trip you in taking their services. 2. Everyone that is at these locations will try to mint money out of you if you try to negotiate they say bad things to you. Like really horrible. 3. Please be aware that they force you to do activities and you will never be alone. When we visited Sonmarg we had 8 people following us (three horseman, 2 people forcing you to do sledge, 1 guides that we did not ask for, reel wala, and some vendor selling clothes) they did not leave me and my family alone even for a minute. We could not talk amongst each other. And they all would get really offensive if you took your gods name infront of them. This is the worst and waste of money trip for my family. We are never coming back. NEVER! The people here who are in the so called “JK tourism industry” are fraud, cheats, liars and have 0 humanity. They treat you like ATMs but the service they give is of beggars.
Also please see the biggest scam is the driver. He will only and only take you to the places he has tie up with. We all know drivers do that with food places and shops but this is another level. This is extended to every activity you do and levery place/sights you visit. He will scare you into not going to the place he has no connection with but will force you to go where he gets commission. Trust me if you do not research and tell him exactly where you want to go and when they will make a fool of you take you to one sight seeing spot perday and say that’s it and will drop you to the hotel. Also please see Sonmarg, Gulmarg, Pahalgam etc the city sleeps at 7-7.30 PM so you won’t be able to go anywhere with family.
All the things you have said is absolutely true, it’s very less things we remember to tell people, we faces such problem in every seconds on our trip. Not a single minute we enjoyed 🙈
Sorry to hear that , It would be great if you can share the same comment on the J K tourist website / portal / and social media handles. This way you be helping to others who plan to visit incase that would also add up the pressure to authorities for such a shame.
Gondola rides open 30 days prior of ride through online. I myself Booked both phase and face no issues but you have show Aadhaar card if they asked. It's not 3 days as you informed.
Pls share shopping store names if u tried any. Thanks
I really don’t understand these people in Kashmir. They make their living on tourism & the people who come from far away places in India. Instead of being a good & honest host, they are sucking the blood of the same people who are giving them so many opportunities & livelihood. It’s a total betrayal, cheating & scam going on in Kashmir unchecked
Can we take winter wear from our home rather than purachasing there
Thank u so much for this informative video.
Is it good in explore July ?
Vera helpful ❤ thank you
Glad it was helpful!😊
I have faced exactly similar issues during my Uttarakhand tour around naineeal.our driver was big issue throat the 9 days trip . We felt cheated at multiple times but had no option when u r dependent on driver and agency is equally participating in it .
Good knowledge mam , thanks
It's my pleasure 😇
Amazing View ❤🎉
The way you explained everything and with so honesty salute keep that up , I was a victim myself of jmmu kashmir . U r doing good job
Thank you so much, it means alot :)
Thanx a lot dear.. We r going to visiting next month... It will help a lot
Most welcome 😊
Phase 2 - Jojila pass Hai...wahan pe ek Welcome to Leh Ladak Gate bhi Hai usko cross kar jana hai..wahin ek war memorial Tank kadihui mile gi...remember this...aur Sonmarg se Phase 2 tak max 5000 hi lag ta hai ek kadi 4 passenger
From which agency u went ma'am?
Very helpful, thanks
Glad it was helpful!♥️
Thanx for sharing🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥🎥
Jo log thagi ka Paisa kamate hai wo kabhi sukhi bhi nahi rah pate,j&k ka haal dekh lo kabhi bhi waha sukoon nahi hai,karma pays u very instantly
Militancy also part of earings for kashmiri gulf se Paisa ata hai I saw how politician get funds from Pakistan
मै तो चल के गया taziwas glaciers गया 45 मिनिट ओन्ली
Best trevel agency ka name bataye
Visited sinthan top in may last week full of glacier.experienced snowfall ,wind .too cold but beautiful
Ekdam sahi 🎉
Yes 😔
Gulmarg only ( if u have Gondola tickets), Sonmarg is ok , avoid Doodpatri( waste of one day), must include Pahalgam (two nights) hotel in Pahalgam main market only to enjoy it. In Srinagar, hotel near Dal gate, if needed near airport then Fair mount hotel is a very gud option
Why to leave doodhpathri. In fact based on season , its one of best to visit.
We did surprised paragliding there at 1500 per person.
Gulmarg is weather sensitive. Must study weather before reaching gulmarg.
No doubt there are people everywhere especially at tourist places who charge more than but it is advised to get full knowledge about that destination where u have to visit from the concerned travel agent or from media sources. Regarding taxi in Gulmarg, pahalgam and sonamarg the restriction has been removed by the Government .
Thanks you so much didi ❤
Most welcome 😊
Thank you
उत्तम जानकारी के लिए आभार
🙏🙏🙏
वेलकम जी 😊
yes we also faced scam in kashmir we recently visited in june 24 first week
my driver in gulmarg said only horse go upto gandola ride office but after returned from gandola we saw taxi also for traveller with min chrgs and we have to paid 4000/- for 4 person in horse ride
Can you please drop agency website
Mam jo kam paise me sirf Kashmir ka ekhi lelin sandar place dekhna chahe...uske liy suggest kijiy kuch
Yes I was scammed in dal lake , I was charged straight away 4000 rs . And they said pay tm is not working. Even driver charged me high . Kasmir is beautiful but most people not all are scammers
Same with us last month
Plz share itinerary kashmir..we Re going in june
East or West.... package tour with well known travel agents ( incl all, Gondola rides n sightseeing) is best
Hmlogo ne pony ride 500 me set kara tha in sonmarg
Bhot achhi bate batay good
Thank you ji 😊
Thanks a lot Madam. I was planning trip for Kashmir this information will b really helpful.😊😊😊
My pleasure dear 😊
Have a wonderful trip 🎉
Thank you! 😃
this is precisely why i prefer to go with a travel company along with other tourists. this way we make new friends as well as there is safety in numbers.
the downside is, there is a fixed program, and we all have to follow it.
many prefer to set their own program but i prefer a fixed program where meals are pre-sorted and we dont have to struggle to find food or places to rest.
even abroad, there are very few places where one can go without a care, like singapore or Tokyo , and some cities in europe.
for the rest, its always better to travel in a group.
There is no safety issue in kashmir once deal is done. Kashmir people are loyal.
Travel agents takes 40% margin so its upto u to decide whom to give money . Locals or travel agents!
I did own visit and it was not bad.
Air tickets or road travel also play important role.
absolutely correct all base on commision everyone want to suckout ur money except without goodservice
Mai bachpan se kashmir ja rahn hu literally kashmir mai bht fraud hota hai. Jab ham first time gye thee toh hamare saath kaafi fraud hua thaa. But now hamare saath koi fraud ni krskta because ham kaafi hadd tak logo ko jaan gye hai waha. Infact waha par hamare kaafi friends bann gye hai so hamare liye kaafi benifit hogaya hai. Last kashmir mai 1 week phle hokr ayii huu
Same case as in Shimla and Manali people are same here too
Evey part of our country is different. You need to adjust according to your budget.😊
You are right
🙂
I am in Kashmir right now, did sonmarg till phase 3 which was pretty high than phase 1 or 2, it costs more, 3,500 pp. From there you can do sledging, which we did 1000 per person. So guess you missed something. I know there is hell of bargaining and cheating there
Suggest hotel in Srinagar
What all you mentioned is 100% true.. we also faced all this during our kashmir trip.. our driver was also not very helpful.. kashmir is very beautiful but all these scams really destroys our happiness
आपने बहुत अच्छी जानकारी दी हम लोग जाने वाले हैं Thank you so much

Actually driver ne jaha pe apko drop kiya waha jo price boli gyi uss mai driver commission lete hai isliye jhoot bola hai usne apko .
Atv ride baltal mai karte hai .
EDITED: Don't spread any wrong news unless you have complete information.
Thank you so much
❤️❤️
Too good informative vlog
Thanks 😊
Hi Mam, I'm from Kashmir, it's unfortunate to say and acknowledge that there's no system/management in Kashmir. I totally agree what you said, will hope inshaallah in future all will be acted and settled.
Proud to be Kashmiri ❤
How’s the weather there in june july?
Hot, the exact time to experience Kashmir ❤
Dii udhar hotels mein wifi milta hai kya?
Hanji waha almost sab hotels me wifi hote h but prepaid Kashmir me ni chalta h, aapko Airtel ya Jio ka postpaid ek to lekr jana chaiye
Which month you visited
This May month
Tourist ke sath har tourist spot par scam hota agar aap pahale se bina kuch information leke nahi jaayenge to, har jagah me local people tourist dekhkei samajh jate hain
June month ma ice mil sakta hai gulmarg or sonmarg me mam
Gulmarg me gondola pe milegi and sonmarg me thajiwas glacier pe mil jaegi
Gondola ke tickets hi nhi mil rhye.. May me
Chandanwadi tak gaya tha
on which date u visited
2nd week of May, 2024
Thanks madam
Aap May me gayi thi to apko waha ka weather pta hoga ? Mai bhi jane wali hu june me toh apne 1.5 yr k bete ke sath to aap mjhe bta skte h k wha garam kapde lgege kya le k jau k nahi?
Srinagar me to garami h bhut but agr aap Gulmarg ya Sonmarg ja rhe h to please jackets le kar jane , and avoid to visit gondola phase 2 if you have 1.5 year old baby thoda risky ho sakta h waha , kyuki wo height pe h and sass lene ki problem aa sakti h baby ko
Nice information
Thanks 😊
That's why you should book package with a renowned local kashmiri agent
Very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Mere sath bhi hua scam, Doodhpathri mai, hamari car river tak ja rahe thi, main gate se but drive ne main gate se car back kar ke parking mai laga, jabki waha par police wale the unhone main gate se ander doodhpathri (Shilariver) tak jane ke liye bol diya tha kyoki waha union ke car rukte h, esliye waha police hoti h jisse wo car na ruke, but mere driver ne car park ing mai laga di, aur hum logo ko ponni ride lena padi, jabki uski koi jarurat nhi thi ,
Madam sonmarg say thajiwas glacier walk karkay ja sktay hai kya or bisren vally bhi please btayay
Yes aap ja sakte h but agr aapke sath senior citizen h to avoid kre.
Yes for sonmarg . May be no for bisren.
Biseran pony ride ke liye famour he . Apko try karna chahiye
Sonmarg me chal ke jana bahut accha feel hoga agar aap young ho to.
