Yes Singh ji, now it is very disturbed. Hope the normalcy will soon return to Kashmir.

Mani.

Yes Swagat ji

Wait for the conditions to get normal. I was lucky to find some favourable days. June is not very good season (although I managed some common plants) as compared to August which is best especially for higher altitudes. I totally missed Primula, Gentiana, Pedicularis and other beautiful alpine plants in June.
