Kashmir Tours

Kashmir Tours

A poet once exclaimed about Kashmir, “If there is Heaven on Earth, it is here!”And almost all visitors to this destination would vouch for this. Popularly known as the Switzerland of India, Kashmir is one of the most picturesque places in the world. Kashmir is surrounded by the mighty Himalayan range andhas rivers that adorn its heart. In addition, the sublime climate in the valley has led to the creation of rich orchards and pristine lakes. The best time to visit Kashmir is in summer, when the sky glows in shades of orange and blue. You may stay in a houseboat, or simply take time to become one with the natural beauty. If you are feeling adventurous, you may visit in winter and enjoy skiing, tobogganing, sledge-riding, and more.

This place is adorned with gardens and flowerbeds, to be enjoyed in solitude. Art and culture play a huge role in the everyday lives of the locals, and you may explore these by visiting handicraft exhibitions and stores here. The state of Jammu and Kashmir shows a rich diversity in its landscape as people move from the south to the north. Low hills in the south, snow-capped peaks and velvety valleys in the centre and a barren, yet enchanting realm in the extreme north make up the state’s geography.
