Arrival in India!


After a long travel with 2 stopovers in London and Delhi, we landed in Srinagar, the capital of the Kashmir region in India. Our shuttle Yussef was already waiting to get us a ride to the small ski town Gulmarg, close to the border of Pakistan. On the way up to the mountains you can still see plenty of military, which are still there because of propaganda reasons. The villages besides the road look really poor, but the people seem to be happy. On the pass up to Gulmarg, we saw the first Kashmiri snow, stoked! Tired and happy, that we finally made it, we checked in our little cute huts of the Highland Park Hotel in Gulmarg. After a really nice Kashmiri made fire in our wood stove, we had a delicious cup of tea and enjoyed the first Indian impressions.
