Ten on Tuesday – 1
While surfing the web, I came across a Meme Ten on Tuesdays here. And I am ‘inspired’ to do the same. Of course, the topic that I am doing is original!
Ten Things To Do in Jammu

- Visit the Vaishno Devi Shrine.

A postponed visit to that region will mean that one may require a Passport and a VISA too

These are great tips. I visited there years ago. I remember a trip to Baghe Bahu, just walking over the Tawi Bridge. It is full of temples and is a lovely town (or was then). I like the tip- take a dip in icy Chenab. I will if I visit again.

You seem to have asked for trouble,unknowingly.You have no idea how many of your blogger friends are going to land up.Some for kashmiri food and others for Rajma.

I have always wanted to visit the Vaishno Devi Shrine. Now I know what other things to do when I come to Jammu. I think we all should list 10 must see/do things in the places where we live/like. That would be very informative if compiled together!

I want to visit Jammu but the security of that state is something that scares me.
