Well looking at the situation, there aren't any trips in the foreseeable future. However I did get the chance to visit Kashmir in early, when the situation was somewhat stable.

Sharing a couple pictures with positive intentions, hoping we all get to travel again very soon :)

PS. Excuse the quality as JPEG and Imgur aren't doing me any favours. Also yes, it was snowing when we went there.

Came back from Valley of Flowers trek 2 days ago. What an amazing experience. It was my 1st solo travel trip and thanks to my wife she allowed me to go. Landslides stopped us a lot but we managed to come back after plenty of delays.  Here are some pics.

Anyone who travelled to mumbai recently know if they ask rt pcr report at airport for domestic travellers?

Rt-PCR is compulsory. Only it is not required if you are done with second dose and the 15 day period.

I travelled to Mumbai 2 weeks back.
RT PCR is mandatory.
But there was absolutely no checking anywhere, I had both my vaccine and rt pcr certificate. But i was not checked.

However when i returned to Karnataka they stopped us in the border and checked our certificates

Know it's mandatory but wanted to know if they check it at the airport. Know for sure that they don't at train stations & land borders.

Matches with what I heard. While coming back they do check at all 3 places ( land, air and train) although you can skip at land border by paying 200 Rs extra to the bus guy. On train stn they do free test and airport they test and send you home (not sure free or paid)

Trek is not easy as it is advertised. There's no camping allowed in Valley of Flowers so if you leave your hotel/homestay for VoF, you have to come back same day (before 5 PM).

Day 1 is 9kms up.

Day 2 is VoF is 7.5kms up and then down 7.5k.

Day 3 is Hemkund Sahib which is tougher (6kms up and 6 kms down) even though there's a proper staircase made for you. Elevation is 4300m. You gain 1000m in a matter of hours which gets tough. I highly recommend taking a dip at the lake. It was 1 degree temperature but that didn't stop me.

I booked via Thrillophillia.
