Excellent info. My request to everybody planning a trip to kashmir is that. Always bargain. Your first price offer should always be one third of what the horse walla or shopkeeper asks and then if you need to up your offer, always do it by Rs 50 only. For example if a pony walla asks 3000 rupees, say i will pay you only 1000. Also if you are not in mood of doing an activity and a person is bugging you, donot make an eye contact, just say shukriya baijaan and move on, that way they wont bug you.
Explanation of how to avoid to get scammed is Fabulous and very knowledgeable content. I have seen multiple videos on TH-cam but your one was most accurate ☺️ keep it up and thank you 👍
Spent five days in Pahalgam. Had a lovely relaxed holiday just walking around the place. Did not visit any points as mentioned. Just soaked in the natural beauty and ambience of the fascinating place.
@@Findingindia The season one visits plays a very important role here. Second week of June was dry, comfortably cool and the garden next to Lidder was filled with blooming flowers of all hues. It was like a fairy tale illustration book.
To konsi places visit karni chahiye or konsi avoid karna hai? Like kuchh khas dekhne jesa na ho to us point ko avoid karna chahiye… and koi her ek dekhne layak points tempo traveller stand se point tak distance kitna hai kya by walking ja sakte ya hours book karana hi padta hai?
Agar koi kashmir ja rahe ho tho sirf srinagar aur gulmarg kafi hai.... sonmarg,phalgam etc matt jao... Gulmarg mai hai snow,gondala aur snow activity.. srinagar mai dal lake (shikara ride is over rated),mughal garden and seasonal tulip garden
Very good job. Thanks for promoting tourism in a fair manner. Unfortunately, MOST Kashmiris in tourism related businesses have damaged/corrupt minds. They consider Bharatiyas a foreigners who must be looted by them as if it is their birth right to exploit their own people. May be their next to next generation have better thought process towards people coming from outside JnK.
Hum wapas aa k dostoon ko exactly yehi baatein bol bol k paka diye almost... Fir aapka ye vlog mila to laga chlo koi to mila dard sanjha krne ko. Thank you for this! Ha, but ek baat hai... cab agar thoda sahi agency se kar lo to ek fir v aram rahta hai. Google me review dekh k ya kisi se reference le k hi cab book krna best hai.
Went kashmir last week. Dry fruits shops at Pahalgam road are scam. You should buy dry fruits only from lal Chowk or old Srinagar market for half the price. Kesar are moatly fake or irani, not kashmiri. The cab drivers are the most crocked and make commissions everywhere. Doodhpatri is a must visit. Luxury houseboat experience was best, we had the whole boat to ourselves.
This is true all this people looting horse rides I pay rs.7500 for horse rides for two persons in pehalgam & sonmarg Tourist taxi drop you in particular place then after we face above mentioned video tourist jate hai to unko achha service dedo we are Indian hamara koi bhai ka bhi achha hone wala hai Jammu & Kashmir tourism pl take care about my notification
Thanks. You have rightly described. We visited Kashmir this week. There is cheationg on tips and horse and by driver. So hosoever wants to vidit jashmor should see such videos. Unfortunstely we went wothout haning such knowledge ftom such you tube videos
Looks like you travelled without any research, always research and have a detailed information for a destination. Book with some travel agencies and these points are there every tourist place. Kashmir is a beautiful place, travel with proper planning and prior research. Sonmarg is meant for mountain views from the hotel, its literally jannat.
Our experience was the worst , it was literally money extortion at each stage, in pahalgam they took 7k from us just for a short 1 hour horse ride. It was as bad in other places. Very very sad experience. The locals are complete goons and will totally rip you off!
By walking on foot or on horse you can go to thajwas glacier in the month of Jan Feb and upto March 14 after that thajwas glacier melts and after March there only stones and bare mountains
Ma'am is there any breathing problems? As it comes to hear about high altitude & low pressure. Making it difficult to breath? Is it true? And will it be safe to take senior citizen with minor heart condition to kashmir?
Mam what is the mean ki apni gaadi khi b chli jaegi but tourist gaadi aage nhi jaegi ..apni gaadi mtlb yellow number plate nhi hona chayie or something else…thoda thik se guide kr do
Thanks for this video.. Most youtuber don't even talk about these stuff which is actual info.. Does the scam happens only in peak season or round the year?
Aapne tanmarg se gulmarg taxi ke 2000 rs diye, kya ye fare aane aur jaane dono taraf ka tha ? Phir aapne kaha ki aapne same driver ko call kiya Gulmarg to tangmarg jaane ke liye lekin usne call nahi uthaya phir aapne doosri taxi ki ? Kya us driver ne sirf one-side ka fare liya tha ya phir phir 2000 me hi aana aur jaana dono tha ?
Mam me Delhi me rehta hu mujhe apni alto se jana hai Srinagar,Gulmarg,sonmarg and Pahalgam jana chahta hu April ke month me to personal vehicle allowed hai ?
So sad to hear about your Kashmir experience. We’ve travelled there on July,22. Faced most of things you’ve talked about. But our driver & agency was really good. Travelled all the places you’ve mentioned except Sonmarg, replaced it with Doodhpathri..that too advised by our driver & agency, and it was really a good decision from our side. We’ve already knew about the agent issues in Sonmarg & there was also time restrictions at that time due to Amarnath yatra. We only had to pay exorbitant price for Baisran pony tour in Pahalgam. Due to amarnath yatri traffic, ponywala weren’t even bargaining properly. Otherwise, normal people were very friendly & helpful..had a really nice time there.
Mam bahut achha laga ki aapne bahut hi barik jankari dene k liye but aapne ye bataya ki aruvally betabvally & chandanwari ghumne me kitna time Diya tha aur kitne paise pay kiye the

Hello from Malaysia. Are restaurants and hotels in Kashmir involve with scamming foreign tourists as well? Also, is it okay to book private cab through TripAdvisor? Will they do scam and fraud to you too?
"Avoid Kashmir, it's a waste of money. The taxi services, especially the rude behavior of the drivers, made it a totally poor experience. They treat Hindu tourists very poorly, especially when you ask them to take you to a temple."
Please do a video on scams of manali also, they sell duplicate saffron at cheap rates near tourist places and triple prices for cheap mall in manali Mall road and many more
There are some middle man or union men.They don't let you talk to the horse men or cab drivers. So we didn't talk to them. Let them know hum paidal chale jayenge. Our tempo traveller driver took us to a shikara middle man, 500/ per head. Yani 2000/ per shikara, jabki shankaracharya se laute waqt humne patta kiya thaa 600/ per shikara with four people. So we went to dal gate no 6 ,aur 600/ ka shikara ride kiya 1hour 15 minutes. Simply loote hain. Waise bolte toh hain "aap hamre mehmaan hain" Puchte hain aap pehli baar aaye hain??? Don't tell them, bolo nahi pehle bhi aaye hain. Sinthal top better tha, wahan abhi bhi itne kharab haalat nahi hain. We just came back on june 4th 2024.
