Kashmir is one of the most popular amoung
places in jammu kashmir
Set like a jewelled crown on the map of India,
Kashmir is a many faced diamond, changing character with the seasons - always extravagantly beautiful.Three Himalayan ranges, Karakoram,
Zanskar and Pir Panjal - snow capped,majestic, frame the landscape from northwest to northeast. They are the birth place of great rivers which flow through the
Kashmir valley.Raj Taringini the chronology of the
Kashmir Kings written by Kalhana eulogises the beauty of
Kashmir as follows:"Kasmira Parvati Paroksh; Tat Swami ch Maheswara". Meaning
Kashmir is as beautiful as Goddess Parvati manifest; and its owner is Lord Shiva Himself"
when we talk about
places in jammu kashmir

houseboats; at once summer capital of the state,business centre and holiday resort.
