Kashmir - Sonmarg

This kind of picture is inevitable if you go to Kashmir., so no laughing. At every place, there will be a dozen suits and a few people bugging you till you say okay. Unfortunately, i dont have the pics of MRG and Kalai and Dhruv to display here :-))))

Sonmarg was our first glimpse of snow and snow capped mountains. Simply marvelous. 

 And our first sledging experience. One guy pulls you up the slope and then pulls or pushes you downhill. 

You have to pay for extra gear - coats and boots, for the sledge and guy who pulls you up and then for the photos - expensive affair but we were euphoric. here at the top, we discard coats to pose in the sunshine.

Appa stayed dressed like this throughout. He enjoyed it except for the last day when it began raining and he couldnt bear the cold.
