hi ibu4u,

its quite safe now to go to kashmir. heard that they have just opened their international airport last year. if you would like to go there, i have the kashmiri travel agent contact based in delhi whom u could call to find out more. do let me know and i will give you their contact address. actually, many people enter kashmir nowadays so you dont have to worry. it is really a beautiful place! you'll love it.
