Description
Captivating Kashmir enchants you in every direction you look. Gaze upwards and be greeted by majestic snow-clad mountains. Look down and find verdant valleys, welcoming you with a vibrant carpet of blooms. Turn your head to see tall fir and pine trees swaying gently in the cool breeze, while lakes and rivers beckon with their shimmering waters. It’s no wonder Kashmir is called "Paradise on Earth."
