‘Paradise on Earth’: Discover Enchanting Landscapes of Jammu & Kashmir

Sep 25, 2024

Tall mountains, sparkling lakes, and Shikaras gliding on the water define the Kashmir Valley, where every view reveals a story of natural beauty. Dal Lake, one of the world's most beautiful lakes, comes alive each morning with a vibrant floating vegetable and fruit market. The freshness, greenery, and lively chatter of Shikara vendors offer a glimpse into Kashmir's unique life. While on a Shikara ride, tourists can also savour 'Kahwa,' the traditional Kashmiri tea. This morning spectacle on Dal Lake attracts visitors from around the world. Visitors can shop for clothes, shawls, and local handicrafts at the floating market, offering a unique shopping experience. Dal Lake is also home to the world’s only floating post office, where letters and postcards can be sent. This unique post office has been a popular attraction for locals and tourists alike for many years. Dal Lake’s houseboats are a symbol of Kashmiri culture, blending traditional architecture with modern comforts. Srinagar is also home to Asia’s largest Tulip Garden, which displays a vibrant array of tulips each year. Enclosed by towering pine and deodar trees, Gulmarg epitomises breath-taking beauty. During the monsoon, gentle rains cloak the valleys in lush green meadows that stretch endlessly. The natural splendour here feels like paradise, prompting every visitor to capture its magic with their cameras. In winter, Gulmarg’s beauty is heightened as snow blankets the tall mountains and trees. The entire area transforms into a stunning white wonderland, drawing tourists from afar for snowfall and adventure activities.
