    Thank you for your video. During my visit to Gulmarg a similar incident happened. For pony ride 4000 and my friend agreed but I refused and almost a fight erupted. Later we a group of 4 cancelled. Then someone from Bengal came and told us they are cheating. They were cheated by charging 12000 for one hour.

    same issue with us in last week they demanded 3000/- per person we bargain @1800/- but we are surprised when on the way we asked other tourist in marathi / english language the price is 1100/1200/1500
    so dear tourist pls don't give more then 1200/-

    Thank you very much Bhoomi ji. This will help my friends who will have Kashmir tour henceforth. I was there in April and faced similar situation of hard bargaining and in several places, we avoided ponies and went by walk. One of my friend's pony returned within 10 minutes to stand in Baisaran, he was annoyed, went straight to Police and in the end, Police after thorough investigation, fined that pony wallah.

      The more I read and see these scams happening in srinagar I don't think many would want to comeback here. People do tend to go back to himachal, uttarakhand, kerala or any other state as they enjoy it there but srinagar seems to be making everyone think twice to go back. Place is good no doubt but people are bad. We only see scammers all around. I don't think any other state would loot as much as j&k does.

    Thanks for this video. I went to Kashmir last week and the first attraction is “Greed”, second is “Tourist scams” and last is beauty of nature. Forced tipping is so rampant, it looks like looting without gun is going on. There is no value of 100 rupees in Kashmir, its like 50 paise in rest of india. Now, i am never going back to Kashmir and will advise people to go to Himachal or Sikkim.
