Madam negative video. Mujhey lagta hai आप life mei first time घर sey nikle hoe. Ye desh tumhara nahi hai. Ek word aap ka positive nahi. Next video aap hi banao aur khud dekho.
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.
Madam, i recall my first Kashmir trip in 1988 with my parents and want to share with u. During the stay in Srinagar, once my father asked someone about the direction of some place, the man gave directions very promptly and decently and then he asked 5 Rs (in1988). My father told him, will u take money only to give directions? The man laughed loudly and stated in a violent mode which is still struck in my mind.. "BABUJI. YEH KASHMIR HAI, KASHMIR. YAHA AAPKO BINA PAISE KA THAPPAD BHI NAHI MAREGA"
This is by far the best video I came across for my trip research. Very informative, I was already dreaming good but this alerted me❤ Thanks for sharing all this information.
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.
True, i knew it, during my Shimla Manali trip. But again here got fooled 😢😢😢 thinking that, cam we come here again? The moment you flight lands on Our SIM doesn't work. Need ro buy a new Sim.
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.
Good job.Had seen all types of tips from UA-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.
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.
Thanks for your video. Im currently visiting Kashmir, and the Sonmarg scam happened with us as well today. Glad that I already watched your video yesterday and bargained like hell with them. What they asked for 1 pony, I bargained for less than that for 2 ponies 😅. But really, I've travelled to a lot of places, never saw such rooted scams anywhere else.
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.
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
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
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.
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 .
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
I have been to Kashmir in a group of 7 this May-June. We could also figure out that at a few places we were getting ripped off. But, I must say the natural beauty compensated for all the losses. Our worst experience or rather loss was at Gondola phase 1. We took pony rides to Khilanmarg where they promised there will be a lot of snow and the kids can enjoy skiing and sledging, but unfortunately not much snow was left there and that too it was dirty and slushy. Unnecessarily we lost about 20 K there. Anyways, I will still say that our 12 day trip which included Gurez and Tulail valleys as well as Kargil was absolutely 👌 I have no regrets. I always passify myself by saying that may be I owed somebody this much money in my previous birth😜 I am just kidding. I believe Kashmir is truly Jannat!
There's nothing like phase one and phase 2 in sonamarg. Its good to have contact number of tourist police easily available on net or Police Control Room kashmir from where you can ask for nearest police station number
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
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 ❤
Very well explained and in detail. Thanks for all the efforts you put in making this video. Please mention the agency name and driver so others are aware before they do booking with them. Seems they cheated you very badly. Anyway looking for more such video which gives insights of such tourist places
Thank you so much ma'am! we are planning to go after a month. This video seems to be one of the most helpful one to save us from any unseen problems. I will surely consider every point of yours.
05:08 this is the last phase of thajiwas glacier. Kisi ne thaga nhi hai apko mam . 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.
What I did was I contacted military personnel and they introduced me to a military man who was from jalpaiguri,WB. I had a talk he told me to give only 200/- for sledge of two. After sledge ing owner was doing nautanki , he will not take the money, I put the money in his front pocket and left. This was in year 2017 January.
Yes, this is a common intension to cheat to the tourist everywhere in the world. So best is do some homework and keep talking with local shopkeeper and see what they advice.
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
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 ❤❤❤❤
Kashmir trip was my worst trip, I have travelled so much but never seen scamsters almost everywhere. From taxi driver to hotels to sightseeing all are thinking of milking your money. Not only that most of these people are so rude, the moment they realise they can't fool you will start giving gaali. Such a shame, not sure why many people don't talk about this scam, Kashmir needs to change and their tourism department needs to be more honest and vigilant. Even the local police are just shameless
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.
@@jainapurvab hi, i m planning to travel kashmir in coming Feb. How did you managed vehicle their. Do you have any refrence there for Hotel and Vehicle as well?
@@rutu12ka4 i did direct booking from Mumbai . took a chance. i can provide details if u want but it depends how many ppl going togather. May-2024 : cab costed 2700 (7 seater)per day plus tip amount that they always seek. Suggesting to choose days then plan places then hotels then cab then adjust tickets - u need start prior 2 months of travel. Cab driver usually will be guide in hidesight so keep him happy- My cost - 2.6L including travel per 4 (2 adult + 2 kids) - 6 days 7 nights Edit : it was before general election. Get feedback from other sources regarding current situation. WHY : security check up can take traffic jam of several hours to be careful also study whether - heavy rain and snow will restrict travel.
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
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.
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
Very true..we paid 7,000 for ride..@ Sonmarg..but couldn't reach the highest point..we didn't like it..moreover ppl are very rude..we went to this month only and driver was so rude.. We went so many places but never faced problem like kashmir..regarding commission..absolutely true..when told our driver we won't buy any dry fruits..he was very upset..one more thing they understand most of the languages..so if you visit..be careful
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
It is very unfortunate, govt must take strict action against these blacksheep, though such persons are present in every society.I humbly request you to tag this video with the Hon'ble LG J&K. This video is really an eye-opener.
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 .
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 ,
1. I had seen your and lot of other videos mentioning scams. 2. But we were helpless as everywhere there is commission business between cab drivers and shops/restaurants. 3. Drivers are least bothered about tourists as already we have paid the money for package and they stop at places where they get commission. 4. Everyone tries to force for pony ride, to buy things which you don't want. Not only that vendors, drivers, porters everyone gets offended if we don't buy from them and behave very rudely. 5. Many asked then what you will do, why have you come if you don't want to buy or go on ride. 6. They emotionally blackmail as well telling once in a life time also you can't spend this much. 7. Everyone asks for tip. 8. Even we spent double the budget. 9. For a place where tourism is main income, they should be more hospitable, humble and let tourists be relaxed. 10. Cost of cabs for site seeing is too exorbitant. If it is fixed like Pahalgam it will be great for tourists. But still you have to shell out to two cabs each day you go to sight seeing. 11. In summers no need of gum boots as there is no snow at all. 12. Also go when there is snow. Then one can enjoy. Now it's hot.
Yes👍🏽👍🏽 go enjoy, but at Pahalgam don't go on horse riding, just take a walking path, some places may be slippery, but that's due to slush. But if you just stay at Pahalgam, it's heavenly. Horse riding is terrible.
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
Maam you should mention that 99.9% people are nice and friendly and are always ready to help. And as of scamming issue show me a single tourist destination in the world where this doesn’t happen 😊
Dude you are wrong. You should have said 99.99% Kashmiris are scammers. They pretend to be nice and friendly, so that they can scam you. I have been scammed very heavily by Kashmir.
@@aayeshas.k5056 99% logun ko lakshadeep k bare mai tab pata chali jab modi ji ne uder photoshoot karaya … wo koi badi tourist destination nahi bani abi…. Bahut Ameer log jaate honge
99% people just want money from you, if you can give 100000 they will take it, if you have 50k they will take that, if you have 10k they will take it. So bargain a lot otherwise you will be fooled & looted

Mam jo kam paise me sirf Kashmir ka ekhi lelin sandar place dekhna chahe...uske liy suggest kijiy kuch
Mam yeh scams nhi hai tbh apko khud sa plan krna tha naki agency sa
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.
@@jainapurvab hi, i m planning to travel kashmir in coming Feb. How did you managed vehicle their. Do you have any refrence there for Hotel and Vehicle as well?
@@rutu12ka4 i did direct booking from Mumbai . took a chance. i can provide details if u want but it depends how many ppl going togather.
May-2024 : cab costed 2700 (7 seater)per day plus tip amount that they always seek.
Suggesting to choose days then plan places then hotels then cab then adjust tickets - u need start prior 2 months of travel.
Cab driver usually will be guide in hidesight so keep him happy-
My cost - 2.6L including travel per 4 (2 adult + 2 kids) - 6 days 7 nights
Edit : it was before general election. Get feedback from other sources regarding current situation. WHY : security check up can take traffic jam of several hours to be careful also study whether - heavy rain and snow will restrict travel.
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

Thanks for giving the valueable suggestion.

It’s better to avoid Kashmir. There are lots of beautiful places in Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim. Let’s go there.
Thank you so much for this informative video.. it's going to help a lot❤
Glad it was helpful!♥️
Plz share itinerary kashmir..we Re going in june
Very true..we paid 7,000 for ride..@ Sonmarg..but couldn't reach the highest point..we didn't like it..moreover ppl are very rude..we went to this month only and driver was so rude..
We went so many places but never faced problem like kashmir..regarding commission..absolutely true..when told our driver we won't buy any dry fruits..he was very upset..one more thing they understand most of the languages..so if you visit..be careful
@@rum14370 rude and cunning drivers🙄
@@swift150_67 yes..very true
Same thing happened in sonmarg
Thank you, very much. Its so stressful. Won't be going there.Bali,Sri Lanka,cheap and no cheating. Had a great time.
Welcome ji
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
Can we take winter wear from our home rather than purachasing there
Yes you can
It is very unfortunate, govt must take strict action against these blacksheep, though such persons are present in every society.I humbly request you to tag this video with the Hon'ble LG J&K.
This video is really an eye-opener.
Can you please drop agency website
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 .
Solo trip karo without guides and local taxis...
Wo best hai
Exactly 👍🏻
clothes konse lea kr jaye june mea winter/summer ?
Burqua
After hearing this, now I am thinking to go manali instead of kashmir 😊
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 ,
Best trevel agency ka name bataye
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
Bhai humme toh bohot sukoon hai yahaa
Galat baat h waha sukoon h tabhi to itne log waha jate h ghumne aur sukoon ki talaash me.
India ke har tourism point pe loot machi hui hai😢😢😢 not only in kashmir
Koi loot nai he
You should be smart
Which month you visited
This May month
Thanks Mam for ur advanced information as we planned to visit Kashmir in Next Year.
1. I had seen your and lot of other videos mentioning scams.
2. But we were helpless as everywhere there is commission business between cab drivers and shops/restaurants.
3. Drivers are least bothered about tourists as already we have paid the money for package and they stop at places where they get commission.
4. Everyone tries to force for pony ride, to buy things which you don't want. Not only that vendors, drivers, porters everyone gets offended if we don't buy from them and behave very rudely.
5. Many asked then what you will do, why have you come if you don't want to buy or go on ride.
6. They emotionally blackmail as well telling once in a life time also you can't spend this much.
7. Everyone asks for tip.
8. Even we spent double the budget.
9. For a place where tourism is main income, they should be more hospitable, humble and let tourists be relaxed.
10. Cost of cabs for site seeing is too exorbitant. If it is fixed like Pahalgam it will be great for tourists. But still you have to shell out to two cabs each day you go to sight seeing.
11. In summers no need of gum boots as there is no snow at all.
12. Also go when there is snow. Then one can enjoy. Now it's hot.
Is it good in explore July ?
Yes👍🏽👍🏽 go enjoy, but at Pahalgam don't go on horse riding, just take a walking path, some places may be slippery, but that's due to slush. But if you just stay at Pahalgam, it's heavenly. Horse riding is terrible.
Can i fo sonmarg ph2 with 4 yr old
You should avoid if possible
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
Hmlogo ne pony ride 500 me set kara tha in sonmarg
Our guide was very helpful
Maam you should mention that 99.9% people are nice and friendly and are always ready to help. And as of scamming issue show me a single tourist destination in the world where this doesn’t happen 😊
Dude you are wrong. You should have said 99.99% Kashmiris are scammers. They pretend to be nice and friendly, so that they can scam you. I have been scammed very heavily by Kashmir.
Lakshadweep, this is the place where no scamming u will find
@@aayeshas.k5056 99% logun ko lakshadeep k bare mai tab pata chali jab modi ji ne uder photoshoot karaya … wo koi badi tourist destination nahi bani abi…. Bahut Ameer log jaate honge
99% people just want money from you, if you can give 100000 they will take it, if you have 50k they will take that, if you have 10k they will take it.
So bargain a lot otherwise you will be fooled & looted
Sikkim, Jim Corbett, Andaman or there's plenty 😊
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
Excellent information
thank you for sharing your thoughts on scams 🙏
