Kashmir

Often referred to as “Paradise on Earth”, Kashmir’s history dates back to ancient Hindu kingdoms, Buddhist influences, and Mughal rule that left behind stunning gardens and architecture. Its breathtaking landscapes include Dal Lake with its iconic houseboats and shikaras, the ski slopes of Gulmarg, the serene valleys of Pahalgam, and the enchanting Mughal Gardens in Srinagar. The region’s culture is a blend of Kashmiri Pandit traditions and Sufi mysticism, evident in its music, crafts, and cuisine—wazwan being world famous. The warm pashmina shawls and delicate papier-mâché artifacts showcase local artistry. In spring, Asia’s largest tulip garden blooms in Srinagar, while in winter, the snow-covered valleys transform into adventure playgrounds. What makes Kashmir different is its unique combination of natural beauty, spirituality, and cultural richness—where every season paints a new masterpiece on the valley.
