  • I VISITED THIS PLACE WITH MY WIFE POONAM IN 2004. IT IS MARVELLOUS, BUT KASHMIR IS MUCH ABOVE IN NATURAL BEAUTY.
  • Mt.Titlis is great and breadthtakingly beautiful.The best way to go there is to take a train from Luzern to Engelberg and then take a 5 min walk to the cable car station. The 1st leg is a normal cable car which takes you to an elevated level. The 2nd will take you in a big sized car which can hold about 20 people at a time. The 3rd leg is the most interesting -- in a rotating gondola(the floor rotates slowly) called Rotair.On top is a shopping arcade including restaurants.As you step out , its just snow and snow. Simply too good. I went there in May 2006.
