The Kashmir valley is situated about 300 km. from Jammu across forested ravines and steep mountain passes.
The emerald valley of Kashmir is cradled in the Himalayas, under the crystal blue skies, against the background of snow-capped mountains.
It is a magic land of silvery streams, rivers, fresh water lakes, pine, deodar and chinar forests, snow clad mountains, sparkling waterfalls, shikaras, green meadows and grassy slopes full of flowers of vibrant colours.
It is an oval plateau over 5000 feet high and framed by three Himalayan ranges – the Karakoram, Zanskar and Pir Panjal. Kashmir covers an area of 222,236 square kms and is often referred as the
'Switzerland of the East'. It is the land of bewitching beauty with exotic fruits, flora and flowers.
Srinagar, the capital of Kasmir is nestled amidst the huge lakes, meadows and unique floating gardens in the valley.
The state of Kashmir is mainly dominated by the Muslims and Kashmiris.
