ever thought of trekking in Kashmir?

Reported in the Greater
Kashmir, the trekking options
west of Zanskar are about to expand. J&K
Tourism has been given the go ahead to once again
market the trekking and climbing opportunities
available in neighbouring Kashmir. Getting
insurance for such an area (Kashmir is frequently
listed as 'no go' by most Foreign Office travel
advisory services) may be tricky, but it may well
be worth the effort as old trekking accounts and
photos illustrate the wealth of country that has
in recent years been largely off limits. Just
think of the possibilities for longer treks
linking Spiti or Lahaul with the green alpine
meadows of Kashmir - I for one will be keeping a
close eye on these developments.
