If one looks at the
map of J&K one sees a white foot print set in the mass of black
mountains. This is valley of Kashmir known to its inhabitants as “Kashir”.
Perched securely among the Himalayas at an average height of about
6,000 ft. above the sea, it is approx. 84 miles in length and 24
miles in breadth.
Through the ages it
has remained another name for paradise. A dream garden, painted a
new in each season- never fading in its compelling beauty through
out the year. Spring comes in gentle pastel shades, pink, blue and
white and then summer slowly brightening hills and valleys. A
profession of sunny flowers. The deep mellow richness of red Gold
autumn turning the trees to fire and then suddenly it is winter.
Clean, white hushed, colored only by snow revelers on the world
famous Ski slopes of Gulmarg. Different times of the year but always
beautiful and that is Kashmir.
The quaint Charm of
a houseboat lapping journeys on a Shikara past floating gardens.
Golf on green which roll at the foot of majestic Himalayas- the
highest natural Golf course. And fishing, camping, trekking, riding
dash in vistas of unimaginable scenic splendors. In winter the
finest ski slopes stretching out an invitation that is Kashmir.
A Kashmir well
within your budget with comfortable accommodation, from Houseboats
and Hotels to tourist lodge. Private Guest houses and huts with
food, travel and fun just as reasonable-That too is Kashmir.
An inspiration for
so much art, music and poetry honeymooners, paradise, a nature
lover’s wonderland and a shoppers dream come true that is Kashmir.
What you have not seen in any part of the globe, which can be seen
only in the valley of the Kashmir. Nature has embellished and
equipped it with fascinating bounties, secluded mountains and
gushing streams & what not that is Kashmir.
Hence an invitation
of nature to visit Kashmir and that is Kashmir.
