While thinking to write about Incredible India, no other place came to my mind but to begin with Kashmir, to start from the start.
Jannat; yes that’s the remark Kashmir leaves on you. I could feel the sensuality of cold breeze while writing about this Switzerland of India in North. Kashmir’s beauty will make you go speechless when you will experience the romanticism of northern valley kissing Himalayas and holding it tightly, creating a tranquil base to eulogise this serene beauty and lets you rejuvenate your senses.
Capital City– Srinagar is the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir and for another six months Jammu enjoys the capital base.
Srinagar– Well this capital will let you enjoy and experience the mountains and valley they are known for but it is also famous for Lakes, Gardens, houseboats, temples, their handicrafts, the ethnic cuisines and the shopping in the city for their unique collections etc. Let me emphasis on some of its main attractions-
Shalimar Bagh– A garden with over a wide range of flora and fountains in its basket is one of the most visited places to allure the nature’s wealth. Build alike other Mughal Gardens with a canal to Dal Lake this place is mentioned as one of a kind in kashmir’s history.
Houseboats and the beauty of Dal Lake– To define a living with a difference, what could be more than houseboats in the midst of Dal Lake. Made with the finest of amenities these houseboats are considered to be the most lavish accommodations in the sea-bed that lets you admire the beauty of the lake in the day and during the night. The pleasure to allure Dal Lake beauty in Shikara is also one of an admirable option.
Gulmarg– Well for me, this is a must visit in your tour to Kashmir. Gulmarg is a hill station in Kashmir which is approx 52 kms from Srinagar. It is a well known tourist place and the major attraction here is Gulmarg Gondala; a cable car that will take you to a divine world. Imagine yourself being in the heart of Glaciers, with the musical sound of cool breeze touching you softly and fill you with the delight of watching a peaceful rendezvous of the mother Earth and the sky. Well it’s here. Kashmir is not heaven in just a word, it is a real paradise.
Jammu– The notion to be surrounded by natural beauty welcomes you here as well but it has more to give. The city of temples has seen tourism uplift for the famous Mata Vaishno Devi shrine. This pilgrimage is in Katra which is 1 hr 30 minutes drive from the city and has seen more than 8 million visitors throughout the year. Taking a drive form katra for approx 3 hrs you will admire the magnificence of Patni Top, a hill station in Udhampur district which is situated in one of the highest mountain range. Being completely away from the city life this snow walk offers you the most peaceful environment for relaxation and binds you with its activities like horse-riding, skiing, photography etc.
The definition of Kashmir is as beautiful as reading a fairy tale. Will share more about the nearby places one can capture in their tour to Kashmir in my next blog.
