A 100 km south of Srinagar is Pahalgam - a resort where the water is still ice cold, therefore making it an ideal getaway from the blazing sun. You can raft, take a pony ride or even dance on the rocks. And tourists simply love it.
"It’s very pleasant. The water is very cold. I’ve just done the rafting and I really enjoyed,” says a tourist, A K Sinha.
But the most interesting thing is to see foreign backpackers back in the valley. Lucky and Sylvinia who have come from Switzerland seemed to be having a nice time.
"We came here yesterday, its beautiful its nature nice mountains, people really should come to Kashmir,” says Lucky.
Sylvinia added, “In the beginning it was hard for me because I came from a different culture and everything is different but I was not afraid and just was different and now I like it very much.”
So if Kashmir is on your mind this summer, think Pahalgam because Srinagar maybe burning at 35 degrees but its still 20 degrees in Pahalgam.
