Kashmir Tour
Situated in the northern part as the crown of India, the
vale of Kashmir is one of the most beautiful regions of
India. The state is ancient and has a history of around
4,000 years. The state became the part of India in 1948,
but with a special status under article 370 of the Indian
constitution. It is bordered by Pakistan, China and Afghanistan
from West to East. Called the ‘Switzerland of India’,
the brilliance of its snow-capped mountains, the tranquility
of its silver lakes, a romantic journey on its houseboats
and the splendour of its gardens hail the nature lovers
from all over the world.
Tourism in Kashmir
Another amusement of Kashmir is its weather. Though it is
a small state, the climate differs from one region to another.
The climate of Jammu region is tropical while Ladakh and
Srinagar are chilling. The best season to visit Kashmir
is April to June for Kashmir Valley and October to March
for Jammu. Besides natural splendour, there are many religious
sites and other monuments to be seen in and around the valley.
Because of infiltration and terrorism, tourism in Kashmir
faced a major blow since 1988, but now the condition is
improving very fast. Once again Kashmir can be seen bustling
with tourists.
