The
Happy Valley, Super Switzerland of Asia, Mughal Emperor's dream
garden and Emerald amongst the white pearls of the Himalaya are only
a few of the many appellations given to the valley of Kashmir, over
the countries. The Mughal king Jehangir, moved to such an ecstasy by
the beauty of Kashmir exclaimed, "if there is a Paradise on
earth, it is here, it is here, it is here". He was doubtlessly,
enthralled by the valley's lust greenery, its abundance of flowers
and fruits, its shimmering springs and translucent lakes. Unlike the
other Himalayan regions, Kashmir has been an traveler's paradise and
holiday resort for a long time, probably one of the oldest on the
earth.
Nestling in the lap of the dazzling snow-capped
Himalayas, the Kashmir valley is undoubtedly a jewel in India's
crown. An inspiration for so much art, music and poetry, Kashmir is
also a honey-mooner's paradise, a nature lover's wonderland and a
shopper's dream come true. Over the years, Kashmir has come to love
and looks after its tourists, fulfilling their every whim. Tourists
are everywhere, soaking up all that Kashmir has to offer - the
walks, the pony treks, the cable car rides over Gulmarg resort, the
Shikara rides at sunset on the Dal Lake.And once you have visited
Kashmir, you will agree that what began as a dream, lives on as an
unforgettable experience.
