Roller coaster ride to Kashmir

Kashmir’s hasn’t been safe to visit for decades. There has often been unexpected flair ups between the Indian and Pakistani governments, and now that the Indian army stalks the streets, I would never return. But when I travelled north from Jaipur to Jammu and then headed north, all was quiet on the northern front. 

An hour of sand dunes

It didn’t matter in the end that I missed the sand dunes because for the first hour on a bus heading north from Mui Ne to Ninh Chu, I saw nothing but sand dunes. They hugged both sides of the road while not far off, the ocean glistened.
