Kieth Froom

For many years it had been my ambition to visit Kashmir. Having now completed a five-day visit to Srinagar, my appetite to visit more of Kashmir is whetted. Although security was obvious, it did not in any way interfere with my visit. I was able to visit where I wanted to go without any difficulty. I had often read of the beauty of the region, what I saw fully justified those comments. The Mughal gardens were stunning at that time of my visit. I much enjoyed Dachigam National Reserve which was like no other such reserve I have visited – it was explored on foot and I saw no one other than my very small group. The sights of Srinagar itself made for an interesting tour. Unique, however was the part of the tour spent travelling by shikara, with visits to island communities, floating market, floating gardens and bird life a plenty. Finally, all the Kashmiris I met were extremely friendly and helpful. I cannot wait to return.
