Safety and Security information when you travel in India

Image
India is not an especially dangerous country, but as with most places in the world today, you have to exercise a certain amount of care and vigilance. Fortunately, violent crime against foreigners is unusual, though it does happen occasionally. On the other hand, petty theft, including bag snatching and pick pocketing, is common. There have also been cases of unsuspecting tourists being given drugged food or drink and then robbed. Although terrorist attacks have become more common in India, most of them haven't been directed at non-Indians, and the likelihood of being a casualty of such an attack is so much less than the risk of getting hit by a car when you are walking down the road that it is practically negligible as long as you stay away from the trouble spots.  You aren't likely to run into most of these problems (aside from unscrupulous taxi and/or auto-rickshaw drivers, which is practically inevitable), but being aware will help you avoid them.

List of Top 6 must do things in Jammu, Kashmir

Image
Jammu which is located 300 KMS   FROM SRINAGAR and at an ALTITUDE of 314 Meters is the winter capital of the state, Jammu is set against the backdrop of the majestic Pir Panjal range on the one side and the fast-flowing Tawi river on the other. Though a relatively new city, archaeological evidence from regions surrounding Jammu has been dated to Harappan times. Historically speaking, however, Jammu is most greatly indebted to the region's Dogra rulers, who developed this town as their capital in the 18th century. They built many Hindu shrines here whose rising shikharas lend the city a distinctively spiritual air, while also giving it the sobriquet 'City of Temples'. Because of the long and prosperous rule of the Dogra dynasty, and the large Dogra population here, this region is also referred to as 'Duggardesh'. It is believed that Jammu is named after Jamboo Lochan, the brother of a local chieftain Bahu Lochan, who built the imposing Bahu Fort in the 17...

While good allopathic care is available in various places, you will also find many physicians practicing traditional forms of medicine.
