| Its interesting. I live in "kashmir", India side and the place is on a similar no-go by both UK and US governments travel advisory. https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/india https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/... Us has a level 4 do not travel. The point is, we are around 10 million souls living in this place and we call it home. It may not be for Americans and British but its our home. Reading this article, im sure travellers here last month could give similar "harrowing" accounts of escaping from the valley and the stuff they did. Yeah, terrorism tourism is real and its "extremely cheap" compared to last month. More safer I would assume but yeah. The air fare has dropped to like 30%, hotels are empty so they will offer you sweet deals. |
Makes sense from Indian army point of view. I wouldn't expect its easy to even get there, especially if westerner, we stick out of crowd properly even when skin tone may be similar, clothing is obviously very different. There is a reason why those prices are so low. Maybe nothing happens, maybe something does. Flying is probably safest, if one ignores the possibility of ground-air or air-air missiles, intentional or not.
