Imagine stepping away from the unbearable heat of the city and finding yourself in the cool, serene beauty of Kashmir. Snowy peaks, tranquil lakes, and bustling markets await you.
But travel isn’t always that simple. Between payments, bookings, and logistics, it can get stressful.
Now imagine this: a stress-free journey with no cash, no wallet. Just easy, seamless travel. Sounds impossible? It’s not.
PayU and J&K bank are working very closely to make payments in Kashmir truly digital. Curious to experience it firsthand, PayU partnered with content creator Gaurav Sharma to see how it works on the ground. Let’s see what happened next.
A Wallet-Free Kashmir Experience
Gaurav Sharma decided to go on a weekend escape from Delhi’s heat to Kashmir. But, he forgot one thing—his wallet. No cash. No cards.
At first, he panicked. How would he manage two days like this? But the moment he started exploring, he was amazed. Kashmir has become convenient and more accessible. Digital payments took care of everything:
- Auto ride? Paid via UPI in seconds.
- Shopping for walnuts and shawls? A simple scan and done.
- Hot kahwa at a café? No cash needed, just a tap on his phone.
- A peaceful shikara ride on Dal Lake? Paid digitally, instantly.
Everywhere he went, Gaurav was surprised. Vendors, restaurant owners, even shikara boatmen—everyone accepted digital payments.
He wondered if it could get any better. Turns out, it could.
The Gondola Experience, Made Effortless
The real highlight of Gaurav’s trip was the Gulmarg Gondola—the world’s highest cable car ride.
Instead of worrying about long queues or managing cash on the spot, Gaurav had already pre-booked his tickets online, thanks to PayU’s end-to-end e-ticketing system for JKCC.
The process was fast, easy, and completely hassle-free. Even if his plans had changed last minute, Tatkal tickets powered by PayU would’ve ensured a hassle-free booking. When payments are seamless travelers get to truly enjoy and be in the moment.
