\"srinagar<\/a><\/p>\n

The original plan for this day was to drive to Gulmarg and return by evening or stay there for the night depending on the mood. But all thanks to the long drive from Delhi to Srinagar in the last 2 days, I was in no mood to get back in the driving seat. Hence, we decided to spend time in the city only, do some local sightseeing and drive from Srinagar to Astanmarg in the evening.<\/p>\n

My first night in Srinagar was not really a very comfortable one. I think it was mainly because of the long 15 hours of drive that we made the day before, from Jammu to Srinagar via Mughal Road.<\/p>\n

Or maybe it was because of a new place and a new bed. Whatever it was, I did sleep for a few hours but it was not a sound one. As a result, I was up early by 7 AM.<\/p>\n

Maddy and I were the only guests in the hotel. The rest of the rooms were all vacant and locked. I stepped up, called the kitchen, and ordered a cup of tea.<\/p>\n

The next few hours were done doing basically nothing. Maddy finally got up by 9 AM and we stepped out to have some breakfast. We came back to the hotel half an hour later, freshened up, and started working on the day’s plan.<\/p>\n
