Srinagar to Sonamarg to Baltal to Helipad and to Amarnath

Our Train (Uttar S Kranti) from Delhi arrived in Jammu around 6:30 a.m. As we waited to contact the driver over the phone, Rao went around exploring the station and by the time he returned, it was 7:15 a.m. We easily identified Suresh, the driver outside the station. He helped us load the luggage also in the car. It was like a small SUV. I forget the names of Indian cars. It was quite spacious and comfortable. Like I wrote before, due to the traffic and road conditions, we reached our destination around 8:30 p.m. Very tiring and not much to eat, we were exhausted. We were thankful that Bhuvana's aunts packed us some fresh food and so we survived on the train.


Our room # was 32. Two double beds. Bhuvana and her brother got two bed room also. After showering etc. met with Noorji and the cook prepared roti and dahl, salad etc.


We slept well thinking about our next day drive to Sonamarg on the way to Baltal.
