RAJA'S PLACE, GULMARG

This is the center of the peace and love universe at Gulmarg, where trance music swirls around a toasty burkari (woodstove). A warm welcome, fresh baked breads and excellent kawah tea are generously offered by this man who was once a mujaheddin warrior, but now prefers cooking and sharing his home with foreign visitors.
