Number of travelers in Indian Kashmir increases

According to news, over 700,000 travelers and visitors that went to Indian Kashmir this year and this is the maximum amount of visitors since an uprising arisen against the law in New Delhi for more than 20 years ago. Police said that hostility is at its lowest phase since the beginning of a nationalist rebellion way back in 1989. However, before the revolt arisen, there are large numbers of visitors that used to go to Himalayan state. The official of the senior government tourism said that this is the great season for visitors since the uprising started in the state. Pakistan and India, which is both nuclear-armed nations, each hold part of the uncertain areas and both clam it completely, even if a slow-moving peace talk offering is under their way.

The official count record claimed that the rebellion in Indian Kashmir has also left almost 47,000 individuals dead, while Human Rights Organizations claimed that the figure of missing and dead people totals to at least 70,000. Furthermore, almost million of visitors and travelers visited the region that is most commonly called as the Switzerland of the East in 1988 for its spectacular landscapes, freshwater lakes and snow-capped mountains. Still, these figures declined after the rebellion started. Tourists began returning in huge numbers after Pakistan and India released a peace talk offering last January 2004 to resolve the 60 years of antagonism ignited by their enemy claims to Kashmir. In 2008, a sum of half a million travelers went to Indian Kashmir.
