So true, i also faced same so avoided all the guides just enjoyed the snow and the view😊

That's way better. Or else you have to waste time behind them for bargain and all.

[@KumarM-hj7ql]

Nice detail video. We went this month. Your video was useful. I thought the trip would be challenging after looking few such videos but it was a decent experience. I will just put my points. 1) Travel agency was nice 2) Accomodation was average - no major issues 3) Places and points are obviously very scenic and absolutely worth going. 4) People at tourist places did want to sell their services but not too much bothersome and would leave if politely refused. 5) We had two Cab drivers and one in Pahalgam from their taxi union - all were genuine and nice. No problem. 6) Overcharging - Depends on negotiation but I felt it was okayish not too bad. If someone is wanting to visit, go with positive mindset and enjoy the nature and the people. Hope you will have a nice experience

[@DarshanDevale]

It means they're improving. When we went the guides and cab drivers were very rude and keep following you which was irritating

Got scammed in sonmarg..for sledging upto arnd 3kms costed me 3500 per head 👀

[@DarshanDevale]

Yup bro they scam a lot actual price is between 500 to 700

[@francisfernandes9177]

Thanks for the info. There is overcharging everywhere agreed. But there is a limit Kashmir is way too high. No place in the world force the tourist for tips. We give tips as per our wish. U should not force anyone for higher tips.

[@DarshanDevale]

Yes that's what i m telling and overcharging price + not showing the proper destination for what we paid for.

[@padmashreepathak7861]

Recently this month we visit kashmir the plc is really beautiful but the people are not good very demanding tips every where overcharging money .. I personally not like kashmir becz of there people

[@DarshanDevale]

this time we cant tell anything bcoz this time there was no snow until 20 jan. 1st time in the history this has happened. But generally you have to go to phase 2 for much snow. Snow is very less in phase 1.

[@Kashmirguideline294]

Brother Kashmir have only 6 months business nowadays there is very expensive everything so how could these people survive from that little tourism scammers I have seen in Delhi what these rickshaw guys taxi drivers travel agents are doing scam since 50 years in Delhi and other places of India like Himachal etc..

[@DarshanDevale]

I didn't tell anywhere in the video that only kashmir people scams. Everyone scams but there should be a limit for scamming. If people are making video on kashmir that means there is some issue. If the actual price is 100 then you can charge 150 but not 1500.

[@devrajsinghania1726]

@Kashmirguideline294 bhai kuch bhi ho itna zyada increase karke sab prices quote nehi karna chahie unlogo ko...isko cheating karna kehte hain..200-300 increase karte hain woh bhi thik hain lekin woh log 1000 ko 7000 batatein hain. This is too much. Bargain bhi karenge to kitna karenge...so this is not at all acceptable.

[@DarshanDevale]

Yes bro that's what i m telling. If they ask 500 instead of 300 its ok but they ask 3000 direct that's the problem

Bhai may sonamarg say hu aur gadi ka price 2-3.5k rehta hai zero point k leya aur wo log wait krtay hai costumer ko chod k kha say ayga Zojila Cross krna pdta hai aur han wo har group k leya alag alag hota hai ku ke Number system rehta hai wha, Horse ride ka 1.5-2k rehta hai Thajwas Glacier tak aur jo ap nay video dekhya wo Sonamarg Club ka hai wha say bohat time lgta hai atleast 1 n half hour Thajwas jnay tak may admi ke halat khrab ho jate hai 7km distance hai, 2horse k sat 1banda hota hai baki jo ap nay dusra admi bola wo apka helper rehte hai koie bag ya kuch aur carry krnay k leya wo apne choice hote hai apko lena hai ke nhi uss k leya apko koie force nhi krta hai, Brother don't use the word scam,Im a photographer there i show my work to my costumer if they like that they hire me or someone else for a day for 1-2k and they only pay that amount after they see the result.. I don't see a scam there until and unless ur a fool to be fooled... And most important thing u will see kashmir tourism police at every tourist spot so u can ask them for price and the government rate for horse is around 1700-2.5k per horse but we charge 1.6k -2k.. And In winter u can't go to thajwas Glacier cause there are risks of Avalanche..

[@DarshanDevale]

If you can't go to thajiwas glacier then why they tell you and charge you for thajiwas glacier? You are local over there you know everything how much time is required to reach how much Km it is we tourist don't know. Misguiding tourist is also a scam. We tourist dont know the kms how we can judge the price? You should not tell any price it should be bit reasonable too. I have experienced that all things so i mentioned in the video. You can check 1000s of video are there on yt about scams in kashmir. They won't scam you they scam us. Watch other videos and get back to me.

vaha ke logo ki rozi roti he vahe hai aur kuch nahi hai. aur kashmir ke andar aur states ke jaise bhi rule nahi the. kashmir ke logo ki life experience karo fir video banao. I am not from kashmir but when I visited kashmir I felt life uder 24/7 threat. If you dont want to buy dont buy but video pe defame karne ka kya matlab hai. apne indian apne he state ko defame karnege to international tourist kaha se ayenge. Switzerland ko dekhlo kitna mehnga hai. lekin aise koi videos nahi banata. i hope this is not because of some kind of dirty politics.

[@DarshanDevale]

Video scams ke upar hai mehangai ke upar nai. Pura video dekho phir comment karo. kuch threat nai hai udar abhi ka situation kafi alag hai. Defame karna alag hai and sachai batana alag. Mostly scams video kashmir pe kyu ha phir? Baki youtuber pagal hai kya video banane ke liye? Abhi toh kafi acha footfall hai kashmir mein agar aisa he scams chalta raha toh tourist visit he nai karege. Har point pe scam hai. Visit pahalgham how sorted it is check that. Video mein bhi bola hai ke pahalgham ki taxi service is the best.

[@Srr0000]

sab thik hai bhai, lekin aap apne video ka title dekhiye aur video ka cover picture kisiko lagega kaunsa bada ghotala chal raha hai. aur off season me jayenge to inhe logo ke pass kuch b kam nahi hota hai. sare hotels khali hote hai, jaha 0 degree temperature aur hotel me heaters bhi nahi sirf heating blanket.
