Two months after the deadly attack in Kashmir, which was released in the Indian, he frightened tourists, and brought India and Pakistan to the border of the war, a picturesque valley located in the Himalayan mountains, begins to see the first signs of tourism revival.
Shabana Awwal shoots the video of their children when they take turns sitting on a water bike for a trip to Lake Dal, the most iconic tourist place of Srinar.
Mrs. Aval traveled from the western state of Rajastan with her husband and children in the 15 group of their large family.
“I visited cashmere many times and saw all the basic attractions such as Gulmorg, Sonmarg and the mood, and wanted to show all these places to my relatives,” she says the BBC.
In March, Obalos planned their 10-day trip. “Summer in Rajastan is unbearably hot, so we planned to escape to Kashmir during children’s school holidays,” she says.
But since she planned the trip, the circumstances have changed dramatically. On April 22, militants attacked tourists, visiting a beauty place near the city of burgundy, killed 26 men.
Tourism is the basis of the Jamm and Kashmir economy, the territory that deals with federally, and this unprecedented orientation of tourists has directed to India strike waves. Authorities closed 48 tourist destinations in the valley, and two-thirds of them remain closed.
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who is difficult to lobby to reopen these spots to attract visitors to the region, says “the impact of the attack was immediate and very wide.”
“There was a massive outcome of those tourists who were already here, and the mass cancellation of those who proposed to come. Then India and Pakistan, for all intents and purposes, are almost fighting for a couple of days,” Abdullah said.
“Thus, the prolonged influence was felt as a deterioration of relations between the two neighboring countries and our tourism season for the year, which word I use for this? I suppose you can call this catastrophe.”
Kashmir, which claims both India and Pakistan, has become a point for decades. Nuclear armed South Asian neighbors conducted two wars and a limited conflict over Kashmir. For more than a quarter of a century, an armed uprising in Indian government has been observed in the region, but even at the peak, tourists have rarely aimed.
Ms Awwal said her family decided to continue the holiday because “we were not afraid” and “we thought we would deal with what came to our way.”
“We are happy that we have gone forward with our plans. The situation here is normal,” she says and blames the “media stir” for the impression that it is dangerous to go to Kashmir.
The fades are not alone in their optimism. Deepi and Anuj Gandhi of Jammu, who made their plans only last week, say that “there is no room for a summer vacation is better than cashmere.”
“Children like to go on water bicycles, and then we will go to the disaster in the lake. We come here every year, so why break the tradition?” she says.
Earlier this week, the news agency Ani reported that a group of Polish tourists arrived in the city.
Arrival only a few weeks after the murgal attack is the reason for the optimism for hotels, taxis, guides, shopkeepers and owners of the Shikaras-Venice Gondola’s narrow colorful boats who shift tourists on Lake Dal.
In April, the President of the Schikari Hajji Vali Bhata owners’ Association, Boulevard Boulevard, was stuffed with thousands of tourists, there were congestion daily, and many complained that it was difficult for them to get housing.
“The attack on tourists was unhappy and tragic,” he says.
“It has affected all of us and our livelihoods. Tourists are our lives, tourism is our saving circle. God knows what sin we pay for,” he adds desperately.
Ravi Gosa, president of the Indian tour operators, who recently headed a three-day “trip on the facts of” tour operators “are those who sent travelers to Kashmir,” “Over the past few years, tourism flourished in Kashmir, many new hotels were built in Kashmir, and new vehicles were purchased.”
Last year, the government said 23.6 million tourists visited Jammu and Kashmir, and 3.49 million visited the valley.
This year, says Mr. Gosein, the peak of the season was lost in the valley, but tourism can still pick up.
“The locals are very welcoming, hotels, guides and shops are very friendly, and people return.
“I think the national sentiment is that if the goal was to disrupt tourism, then it will not work. But I hope no incident will be again,” he adds.
According to reports, some services for the revival of tourism in Kashmir also go into a new train connection, which for the first time tied Srinar to the rest of India.
Twice a day, a day by Schrinar to Katra station, in the Jammu region, which recently made headlines for the transfer of “the highest railway bridge”-was launched and the tickets were sold over the next two months.
The Catra, which is the starting point for those who visit the popular Hindu Vaishna shrine, raised 9.48 million pilgrims last year.
And many of those who come there since June 7, when a new train with air conditioning was put into operation, jumping on it to go to Kashmir.
Among the pilgrims who enjoy a lightweight communication are Ghanshyam Bharadwaj and his wife Mamat Sharma and their children. For a couple based in Delhi, who enjoyed hot sweet tea near Lake Dal, the arrival in Srynah was a “funny moment”.
“We only needed three hours from Katra. Tomorrow we’ll send the train back to Katra and go to Delhi,” Mr. Bharadva said.
“I ask him if he was worried, traveling to the valley so quickly after the moon attack?
“There is nothing to fear. This is my country,” he says.
Chief Minister Abdullah says the fact that pilgrims choose to come to the valley is a good start.
“Now those who come for a few hours, I would like to see them come for a few days. Those who come for a few days, I would like to see how they have confidence for a week.
“But at least this is the beginning, and that’s what helps.”
