If travelling is your passion and you love to see an amazing Himalayan beauty then go for Kashmir. If there is a heaven on earth, it is this.
Srinagar is the largest city and the summer capital of the Indian administered state of Jammu and Kashmir. It lies in the Kashmir Valley on the banks of the Jhelum River, a tributary of the Indus, and Dal and Anchar lakes.
Ringed by an arc of green mountains, Srinagar's greatest draw card is mesmerizingly placid Dal Lake, on which a bright array of stationary houseboats with the colourful scene makes a unique experience for romantic chill-out.
Famous Mughal gardens are strung out over several kilometers around the lake's less urbanized eastern shore; these contrast with a fascinatingly chaotic old city centre that is topped by a fortress and dotted with historic wooden mosques.
The Dal Lake is among the most beautiful and most popular lakes in India and a Shikara ride there would be an unforgettable experience.
If you are going to Kashmir, it is an excellent opportunity to test their special cuisines, which can give you a special twist in your journey to the valley. Cuisines like, Rogan Josh, Yakhni or Dum Olav can blow your mind with its test and flavour.
The summer capital of the state is not only a religious destination it is also a base location from where you can reach to various other areas of Jammu & Kashmir including Ladakh region, Kargil, Dras, Dachigam National Park and Baramulla.
Throughout the ages, Kashmir has remained as another name of Paradise. Cradled in the lap of majestic mountains of the Himalayas, Kashmir is the most beautiful place on earth.
