1. “If there is a heaven on earth, it is here! It is here! It is here!” these are the words which aptly describe about - ‘Kashmir’. Beautiful snow clad peaks, crystal clear flowing rivers, picturesque pine forests, artistically carved Shikaras floating smoothly on the great Dal lake, tall standing mountains which makes you feel dwarfed….
