Sonmarg – 0 km (forced rest of 2 days)
I was enjoying watching tv after a long time while it rained outside. I checked-out pretty early in the morning and to my surprise a barrier was put up there by police; no vehicle was allowed to pass. Damn! What to do now? I was out of the hotel already; roads were blocked from both the sides and there was no estimate of clearance!
I locked The X near a chicken shop and walked some 2 km to check out the landslide; sure enough it was massive. Yatris were struck too. Army came to our rescue; they put up some tents for stay and arranged food.
Hotel prices went rocketed high; the room I was staying previous night for 500 bucks was already booked for 1500 today. A perfect business opportunity.
Police was no help, Army allowed to camp the other side.
 |
| This is what landslide looked like. continuous rain and slush made it impossible to even walk. |
 |
| So i joined the queue for food. offered by army. |
 |
| Army came as a big help, camped there for two beautiful nights. |
 |
| Beautiful Sonmarg. |
 |
| And the evening was lovely. |
 |
| Then I was surrounded by lots of trucks and drivers and their horrible stories |
 |
| Last day @Sonmarg it was beautiful stay of 2 days farewell shot from my camp. |
