Lets go Travel to Kashmir part II

After i got falling in love with Kashmir, now i am gonna make several thing that should be prepared maximally before going to this “Paradise on Earh”. Here these are!

a.       Passport and Ticket

As we want to travel to every  countries, pasport and ticket for flight is the basic need. For you who do not have passport yet, you may go to the imigration office and register for pasport. The cost of making pasport is depend on how many pages of its. If you want the passport for 24 pages, the cost of its around rp.150-200 rb. But this is rarely given by the imigration servicer for traveller, they provide this for the tki/tkw. Usually, for the tourist, they provide pasport with 48 pages, and the cost of its is around 300-350 rb. The pasport will be finish after three or 4 day you registered.

For the ticket, you may observe in far days before you go, you can hunt the ticket promotion. There are many airlines provide high discount for flight to Srinagar (The biggest city in Kashmir) in some months a year. Also, if you are booking the ticket far days before time to go, it will be more cheaper. In normal price, the ticket from Banda Aceh-Srinagar cost around 1-1,25 million rupiahs.

b.      Best timing to go to Kashmir

Kashmir has four season, there are Winter ( December-February), Spring (March-April), Summer (Mei-August), Autumn (September-November). Talking about good timing to go to kashmir, it depend on what do you need. In my point view,  there are 2 season in kashmir that nice to serve. Firstly, when the winter season comes in December-February. During this period, the snow falls torrentially. On this occasion, the tourist can play  sky in the snow. However, in snow winter, sometimes the route is blocked because of the thickness of snow. But, dont worry, coz mostly the tourist from tropical contries who never seen the snow before will be crazy of this part. Personally, if I had there, I will do salto  in the snow! It sounds overact (Norak) right? Yeah I know! Ahaha.

      Secondly,  in the spring season. It occurs in March to April. It time for you to enjoy the beautiful view on Kashmir. The large green savanah, the mountain, valley,  and ofcourse lake. In addition, we can explore the tulip garden in Indira Gandhi tulip garden. So, we do not have to go to Netherland only to see the tulip.

          C. Accomodation during in Kashmir.

 Let us say we are stayed ten days in Kashmir. So, the accomodation during that time is around 15.000 Rupee or 3 million rupiahs each person. It including the cost of hotel or houseboat, touring car, food, tourguide, souvenir and cost of visiting the tourists area. Talking about food, in Kashmir we can find any restaurant or cafe basicly ‘halal’. Because of the population of Kashmir 90% is Moslem.

In conclusion,  before we go to Kashmir, we have to prepare several thing such as pasport, ticket , clothes and ofcourse budget. The best time to go to Kashmir is during winter (December-January) or during spring (February-March). Totally, the cost of travelling to Kashmir is around six million rupiah including boking ticket twice, and budget for accomodation during in Kashmir.
