One of nature’s finest creations in the world is Kashmir. The picturesque valley with intense beauty and varied landscape – pristine lakes, colossal mountains and glaciers, raging rivers, and unexplored valleys with their unparallel beauty make it picture perfect.

It is the uppermost alpine region of north India and has names like ‘The Last Shangri-la. The Moghuls referred to it as a ‘paradise on earth, and it is rightly called ‘Heaven on earth these days. The four seasons are extravagantly beautiful with colourful grasslands, trout-filled crystal clear lakes, Shrines, temples, rich history, and culturally and ethnically diverse people have something to offer to every traveller and adventure seeker. The art and craftsmanship of Kashmiris have a rich heritage and their handicrafts are brought and given as precious gifts around the world.

The Sumer capital of the state is Srinagar on the lap of the serene Jhelum River with Dal and Nagin lake to enhance its picturesque setting, Be it on foot, bike, raft, or kayak, the place has surreal wild places to explore and this land has something where you could find
your adventure and solitude.
