Ashok: Greetings,
Mohanji. How are you?
Mohan: Greetings,
I am fine.
Ashok: I
came to ask what arrangements I have to make for going to Pahalgam.
Mohan: First,
you return from Gulmarg to Srinagar. Afterwards, you should go to Pahalgam.
Ashok: Which
way do we (take to) go to Pahalgam?
Mohan: One
goes to Pahalgam by an entirely different route.
Ashok: Is
Pahalgam prettier than Gulmarg?
Mohan: That
is a difficult question (to answer). Pahalgam has one kind of scenery,
and Gulmarg has another.
Ashok: What
is the difference?
Mohan: Pahalgam
is at the foot of a mountain. There you have the beautiful Lidder and other
streams, as well as forests.
Ashok: Are
there (any) hotels there?
Mohan: Oh
yes, many. Also, there is a tourist house there as well as a dak bungalow.
Ashok: Is
it possible to go sight-seeing by a boat at Pahalgam?
Mohan: No,
boating is not possible because the Lidder is a very fast moving and dangerous
stream. It is difficult to row boats in it.
Ashok: All
right, what places are worth seeing near Pahalgam?
Mohan: On
your way to Pahalgam, you will visit Anantnag, Achabal, Kokarnag, and Mattan.
Ashok: Are
three or four days enough (for the trip)?
Mohan: Yes,
of course.
Ashok: All
right, p.mp3it me to leave. Goodbye.
Mohan: Goodbye.
