Benson which part of the world are you living in, our gov forgiving . arrrrrr.... NOT.
Well regarding the problems with Kashmir is the religious extremist there, the terror groups, corrupt cops, self centered government policies.
once upon a time Kashmir was a beautiful place until a bunch of politicians from both countries decided to fuck it up.
regarding the problem you faced being called a Israeli, well that is fairly common through Muslim areas, they all hate the Israeli, so they go about asking every god dam foreigner if they are from Israel, which in my opinion is a fucking idiotic thing to do . and if the Guide did that to you then it was a real bad thing that guide did.
Next time get a reliable guide, may be a government one.

I'm going to guess you have never been to Kashmire and might be an Israeli. Either that or a very awkward troll.
Nope, not been to Kashmir and not from Israel. Just a text book awkward troll
anyway if you get a guide be careful, they like to go around telling everyone you are from, Israel (not joking).
Here is why they do that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_Kashmiri_descent_from_lost_tribes_of_Israel
Had read about this a long time ago, but never heard of a first hand experience.
LOL but no!
They do it cuz they are mostly Muslim. You will see more flags of Pakistan their than flags of India (no joke). Also shockingly too many posters of Osama.
More speculation than anything else, but maybe be because anyone living there may find Israel or US to be a bit better than the political conditions of either Pakistan or India. Atleast from what they have faced up north.
The Pakistan army is portrayed by media to be more aggressive than ours, which may explain the flags bit. We do have a tough military system, but forgiving leaders as well.

Why not kashmire?
Kashmire is surely most beautiful place on earth, but it has disturbed political, military environment.
Sounds awesome. I can't wait.
Come to Bengal, the Darjeeling and Siliguri area is best if you wanna be near or IN the Himalaya's
And the 8 hour long train ride from Siliguri to Darjeeling, jumping off to drink water from mountain streams, etc.
Roadside momo shops, cute north east indian girls, etc
Darj is an awesome place. I would love to retire there.

I would like to spend 6 months in India near the Himalayas.
Any suggestions where I should go? Cheap cost of living and good Internet connection is a must.
Do you think the Manali area is a good place to spend 6 months?

You should see Dharmshala, Dalhousie for sure.

Also at anytime you want to convert your coins for INR, contact us
As far as internet speed concerns, you will not get great speeds but you can get decent speeds with idea 3G offerings ( I use them personally while I am travelling and they have decent coverage and speed ). I am not sure if Idea 3G coverage is there in Dharmshala or Dalhousie
I will search a bit and let you know.
( PS : I am going to have a long vacation in Dalhousie in early 2014
)Thanks,

Thanks I will read on Darjeeling.
You do get internet connections in Manali although not very stable.
Although I have been unable to find Manali on the localbitcoins map, I am sure that you will find BTC acceptance in no time.
Especially in places like Parvati valley, which is chock with people from around the world.
And of course, they have a darn good reason to use BTC as well and I do hope that you find some
Thanks I will read on Darjeeling.
Manali you may not have a very good internet connection. but you can make do with a slow connection.
Darjeeling is another good option , internet connection is not much of a problem there. September is always the best time to go there.
