Thanks for the news, Nitu. This is a great news, indeed. I wish this thread was as active as the Manali-Leh thread.

There was a 50rs toll tax at Sonmarg Barrier when coming from Srinagar.
Infact in Kashmir there is a toll tax at every tourist place. I suspect even if you poop, they will charge you tax for that.

Toll tax is not a big deal, real problem is that you have to wait in que with the drivers of truck, & taxi, also it took time in hours . feels like that we are crossing the border of a country.
