    Overview

    Before militancy intensified in 1989, tourism formed an important part of the Kashmiri

    economy. The tourism economy in the Kashmir valley was worst hit. However, the holy shrinesof Jammu and the Buddhist monasteries of Ladakh continue to remain popular pilgrimage and

    tourism destinations. Every year, thousands of Hindupilgrimsvisit holy shrines ofVaishno DeviandAmarnathwhich has had significant impact on the state's economy. The Vaishno Devi yatraalone contributes Rs. 475 crore to the local economy annually.

    Tourism in the Kashmir valley has rebounded in recent years and in 2009, the state became oneof the top tourist destinations of India.Gulmarg, one of the most popularski resortdestinations

    in India, is also home to the world's highest greengolf course. However with the decrease in

    violence in the state has boosted the states economy specifically tourism. It was reported that

    7.36 lakh tourists visited Kashmir in 2010 including 23,000 foreigners. In 2011, the number oftourist arrivals in Kashmir touched the mark of 10 lakh.

    Language

    The state's official language isUrdu. However, the main languages spoken areKashmiriin the

    Kashmir Valley,LadakhiinLadakhandDogriinJammu. Most people can speakHindias a

    second language.

    As elsewhere in India, English is fairly widely spoken among the educated classes and those

    involved in the tourist industry.

    Entry

    By plane

    Flights operate toJammu,SrinagarandLeh. Try Indian Airlines, Jet Airways, Kingfisher and

    Air Deccan.

    By train

    The last stop on the railway line north is Udhampur, where you can catch onward buses and hireSUVs/MUVs (Tata Sumo / Toyota Innova/ Mahindra Scorpio). However it is better to get down

    in Jammu and catch a taxi from there as these are more readily available.

    The Kashmir Railway is a railway line being built in India to connect the state of Jammu andKashmir with the rest of the country. The Project officially coded USBRL (Udhampur Srinagar

    Baramulla Railway Link) starts from the city of Udhampur, 55 kilometres (34 mi) north of

    Jammu, and travels for 290 kilometres (180 mi) to the city of Baramulla on the northwesternedge of the Kashmir Valley. The route crosses major earthquake zones, and is subjected to

    extreme temperatures of cold and heat, as well as inhospitable terrain, making it an extremely

    challenging engineering project.
