Is Kashmir an overhyped tourist destination?
A2A.
I will let you decide if Kashmir is overhyped about tourism or not.
Just go through the answer..
1. Srinagar
Aerial view of the city
The beautiful sunset at Dal Lake
An evening in a Shikara
The valleys and mountains
A romantic getaway in a Shikara in the beautiful Dal Lake
2. Pahalgam
The snow filled lanes
Nature at it's best
View of Lidder river in Pahalgam
The ever scenic Pahalgam valley
3. Sonamarg
The gigantic Himalayas and the evergreen valleys
A view of the Himalayas from Sonamarg
Does it look less than Switzerland???
Nallah Sindh at Nilgrar Sonamarg
Sonamarg - Nature's abode
4. Dras
Dras - The gateway to Ladakh
The Kargil war Dras memorial. Experience a great sense of patriotism here.
The Dras valley. Coldest place in India.
Be ready to experience goose bumps here. Dras war memorial.
5. Leh - Ladakh
Amazing Sunset & Moonrise at Leh
Frozen Glassy Peaks on the way to Leh
Leh in Summer.
The valleys and rivers of Leh
Inner peace.. Shanti Stupa at Leh
This town has it's own history too. Ruined palaces at Leh.
Yes this is in INDIA!! The beautiful ladakh
If you have not taken a bike trip to Leh-Ladakh then pack your bags now and hit the road.
The architecture and history
Ladakh - The barren beauty of India.
6. Zanskar
Mani Wall in Zanskar. The rich history of Tibet.
Row of Chorten (or Stupa) at the village of Purne. Each of the elements that constitute these edifices, as well as their color, has a symbolic meaning in Tibetian Buddhism.
Experience faith in this town. Get your prayers answered. Prayer flag above the monastery (Gompa) of Tanze, in the Kurgiakh valley. The wind is believed to propagate the prayers printed on tissue
Don't get deceived. This is not Greece. It is the Phugtal Monastery in south-east Zanskar
You can never get tired of valleys, mountains and rivers in Kashmir. The Zanskar valley.
Anything for a Frost-bite ;) . In winter Zanskar is accessible only on foot through a frozen river. This track is quite popular with adventures.
7. Nubra Valley
Yes this is not Rajasthan. This is Kashmir. Sand dunes of Hunder are worth a visit in Kashmir. After all it's not only about snow, valleys and lakes.
The Bactrian camels of Hunder.
The Nubra valley.
Diskit Monastery at Nubra valley.
The beautiful town Hunder.
I hope these pictures are enough to give you the answer of your questions. Kashmir will never let you down. It will surprise you at each step.
Not enough money for an international trip?

Kashmir is your answer.
Yes .But not today. Long time back ( about 20 years) it was a bit hyped up.
Having said, it is a 'must' see place for every Indian, the nature at its best can not be described in words ( or even photos) .One has to experience it.
