The valley of Kashmir offers forested precipices surrounding the steep mountainous terrain. Located 300 km from Jammu, the valley is known worldwide for its incomparable landscapes. Situated in the Himalayas, the clear blue skies reveal the snow-capped peaks from which the streams and rivers spring. The native flora of pine, deodar and chinar is an unforgettable experience that you can experience on a shikara. The valley delights you with the diverse colors of nature reflected in the lush green slopes, tender meadows and colorful flowers. The capital of Kashmir – Srinagar – is world famous for its handloom mills that produce woolen garments and pashmina shawls. In Srinagar you can also see local handicrafts and hand-carved wooden furniture made of walnut.
