July Kashmir & Kerala!

Guys - I am weighing up my options

Looking at going Isreal, egypt, jordon or India

I am Indian by descent so have been there a few times and generally dont get as much stress as my white buddys!

BUT - I get some hassle none the less. Anyway I have travelled across the country a few years ago. The buzz and lawlessness appeals to me.

I have not been to and have always penciled my hopes on going to Kashmir purely from the way a guy described it to me once. Kasmir (Leh) and Kerala...

Is it posible to do both in one month. If so what would be the most econmical way of doing it and least time consuming. Also Would I fly in to |Kerala first or Kashmir? I definately want to do both. Also TBH not looking in my pocket worrying about my expenses is a big incentive to go. which maybe the middle east cannot provide.

In my head maybe - Mumbai - Down to Kerala ( Two weeks) then a flight to Delhi (now Im making this but up) and take this overland journey to Leh......What do you think???

Has anyone done the middle east circuit and India and can compare???!
:)

HI guys - I am determined to both.

Guys please constructively criticise.

Kashmir ( I was thinking of overlanding it from Delhi to Leh- Ladakh (I heard that journey was amazing!) - then maybe a flight back to delhi. Then somehow get to Kerala (If flight option how much? If train how long?)

Is it possible to land and depart in India from two different destination( eg Delhi/ Mumbai) as that would help? Or does that push the price dramatically?.

I understand there is a curfew. To what extent would that impact on my idea of seeing Leh and more of Kashmir?

I think 4 -5 weeks is too long for one place as I am keen to see them both. But logistically Im thinking it through - again I am on a budget. So - How would you guys route this given a restricted budget and 4-5 week time frame?

Also Im not sure of the weather in both areas in July.

Sorry, Ive written this in a rush. Get back as your comments are most helpful.

Thank you

As mentioned in the sticky : curfew has been lifted today. Think of Ladakh and Kashmir as separate worlds.
