Kashmir is the only place in the world that demands a distinguishing explanation. Nestled in the lap of the snow clad Himalayas, the Kashmir valley is a fertile region surrounded by two major mountain ranges, the Great Himalayan Range on one side and the Pir Panjal on the other. Known as the garden city, the Venice of the East and Switzerland of Asia, Kashmir has been more rightly pronounced as The Paradise on Earth. This amazing land is dotted with verdant hillsides, breathtaking lakes, picturesque gardens, fir and pine forests, sparkling springs, milky glaciers, lush meadows and beautiful Himalayan peaks. A land of scenic mountain valleys, great rivers and enchanting lakes, Kashmir is known for its profusion of different colors and distinctive culture, traditions, religions and languages. Our tour can make you look at a thousand pictures while you travel in this extravagantly beautiful land. For a start, you can imagine yourself lazing on the verandah of your houseboat, moored away from the town sipping a glass of Kashmiri spice tea, overlooking the lake, or spending a day high in the mountains, horse riding across flower covered meadows, or still strolling lazily through the fabulous terraced water and floral Mughal gardens.
