Hi guys! I'm Tushar from Bangalore. I'm a software Engineer by profession. I hope you guys liked my previous story. I'm back with the next one.
Before we start, I would like to say your feedback matters. So let's begin!
I'm a Solo traveler and I love to travel and explore new places. It was time for me to explore Kashmir. I took flight and reached Kashmir. As my caption, it is heaven on earth. It was 7 days trip so I planned the places to visit.
The weather was too harsh and I couldn't stand the cold but I had decided that I'm going to visit most of the places as planned. Pahalgam was the first place I visited and it was beautiful. The snow, the mountains, chai and what else you need.
I stayed in 4 star hotel and it was quite an experience. The next day I had to leave to Gulmarg. As expected, it was too cold which was below zero degree. But Gulmarg is a beautiful place where in you can enjoy different kinds of activities.
I was standing in the queue to take Gondala (cable car) tickets. It was too crowded since it was a peak season. I got a tap on my left shoulder and I saw a girl holding 2000rs note in her hand and she requested me to take an extra ticket.
Now let me introduce her. I'm not going to reveal her name for privacy reasons. She is very fair, 5'6 ft, had right curves at the right place. She was very fit. Seeing the crowd, I agreed to take an extra ticket for her. She had a huge relief.
Later we got into the same cable car. I introduced myself and we started talking. After sometime I got to know that even she was a solo traveler from Mumbai. She was pretty brave and confident. So we did all the activities together but she had already booked a hotel so after coming back she went to her hotel. Before leaving, we had planned that next day we'll be visiting Sonmarg together.
The next morning we started our journey to Sonmarg. We explored the place but both of us didn't have a place to stay so we pitched tent for the night. We lit bonfire and prepared Maggie for dinner. We sang songs, danced for a while and gazed at the sky for sometime. We were too tired so we decided to take rest. The tent was big enough for 2 of us but since we both were strangers, it was pretty small for us.
It was bone chilling cold. Even though we were wearing body warmers, blankets and there was bonfire as well, it was quite difficult for both of us. Since we're too tired, we somehow forgot the cold and slept. Approximately after 2 hours I realised that she was shivering. So I hugged her without her consent. Her shivering stopped after few minutes. That actually helped her being warm and she felt good.
