So it looks like we may have to miss out on Srinagar - which would be a huge disappointment. Is there anyone on this forum who is a tourist and who is, or has recently been, in Srinagar?

Ah - that's a worry! Has the Jammu to Srinagar route become more difficult in the last year or two? I took the Jammu to Srinagar bus 2 years ago and it was absolutely fine. I'd rather avoid flying as much as possible, partly for the cost, but also because while I'm in the air I'm not really in...

Hi all - I'm planning a 7 week backpacking trip with my girlfriend, from 3 September to 19 October, and we've come up with the following: Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Amritsar, Jammu, Srinagar, Dras, Ley, Manali, Delhi, Varanasi, Kathmandu. We'll be spending a few days at each place, and in between...

I can't get through on the helplines! I'm confused though - the photo to be uploaded is obviously digital, so doesn't really have a physical size (2.5 cm x 2.5cm)? Its digital size is under the 1mb as required.

Hi All I am applying for an eVisa (tourist), and it's all OK until I upload my photo. Each time I upload it, it is rotated 90 degrees! I think this is because it's a square (as per the required spec), because when I experimented with another photo it did not rotate. Question is - will this...

Hello I am due to arrive Delhi airport at 1am 4 September with my girlfriend. We would like to book a budget hotel in Paharganj. How can I do this? Thanks. Les

OK, I like the sound of that (tours to lakes, tent accommodations) - presumably that will all be on offer from Ley? What sort of cost?

I guess I should have asked this - what are the rewards if that trip, and are they worth the discomfort?

Since posting my question I have learnt that there is a bus from Ley to Manali. Is that recommended?

Hi All As part of a 7 week trip to Northern India this Sept/Oct, my girlfriend & I are planning to do the srinagar to Leh route. After that, do we have to go back via Srinagar to the rest of India, or are there buses going south from Leh? Thanks for any advice. Les
