| Hi to all my friends, Before returning to Sweden I visited Kashmir. It was not on my travel plan from the beginning. I decided to visit it with friend from Indian desert who has never in his life seen snow.. Many people told me :.."it is danger, you cannot move free.. I took the risk. I am in company with friend from Jaisalmer (Muslim) and I don't feel afraid there. But he was little worrying and didn't allow me to take direct photo of military people . Military people were everywhere, but I just felt safe and it is interesting to move in such situation. I never have seen this before. And I felt all the time peaceful and people were friendly. In company with Muslims I experienced many nice friendly moments and learned about their religion which is religion of peace as they explain.. Nature here is beautiful like in hills regions. I enjoyed seeing joy of person from Indian desert Rajasthan,who first time see snow , and play like a child. We visited Gulmarg, hill resort .With cable car we reached the top above the clouds (9100 feet high) . There is another beautiful place with waterfalls - Aharbal. My friend was enjoying to listen song of waterfall. He expressed his gratitude with prayer near water.. I was just watching all steps what he was doing... |
