Kashmir

The paradise on earth opens again

Kashmir

Dal lake shikara

Sufi poet Amir Khusro once said , if there exists a heaven on earth , it must be here in Kashmir.

Every corner of kashmir lives up to this expectation , its beautiful gardens and majestic pir-panjal mountains are nothing short of breathtaking .

Nature has blessed kashmir with open hands but it has been ravaged by conflicts since Indias independence , hurt deeply by terror activities from its neighbouring pakistan.

Last 3 years have been consrant turmoil , agitations , terror attacks and now abolishing of article 370 meant it was closed for tourist for the longest time since 1996. But now its open for tourists once again.

Many however do not know that not entire Kashmir is that restless , kashmir is just a part of large Jammu , Kashmir and Laddakh state , kashmir is a area around Srinagar uptill the mighty Jozilla Pass. Laddakh the high altitude desert is still very peaceful and so as most part of Jammu.

Ladakh is a different world altogether , its rocky , colorful mountains and blue water lakes attract thousands of tourists every year. Leh the capital town is a great place to relax. One can also visit Khardung La , worlds highest motorable road at 18380ft and pangong tso lake , one of the worlds largest salt water high altitude lakes.
