What My Opinion About Srinagar Kashmir Safety Issues?

After my 5 days trip to Kashmir and talked with lots of tourist and Local citizens, now I can say proudly that you must visit the heaven on earth. The Kashmir is safe for tourist. There are some places or villages which are not so safe for tourists because of the border. But other places are safe and good for the visit. When somebody got attack in any little village of Jammu and Kashmir, media shows that there are high alerts in Jammu and Kashmir and they named complete state instead of particular area or village because of their news popularity. But it is not good. I requested to all the media people who will read this post, Please stop these rumors about Jammu and Kashmir, we have a heaven in our country, promote it instead of making fake news about them. I know it’s little unsafe sometimes and I can’t say that it’s completely safe as like Himachal Pradesh and some other state of India. But it is safe for tourist.

If Kashmir is in your bucket list or if you making a plan to visit Srinagar Kashmir then don’t worry about safety issues there is thousands of army men in the state Jammu and Kashmir, all people are very friendly, visit there without any tension. Just book your ticket and go and explore the beauty of Kashmir.
