Jammu & Kashmir
Kashmir an earthly paradise for Mughal Emperors, and modern travelers, radiates natural beauty. Snow capped peaks, mountain meadows, and rushing streams offer cool contrasts to crowded hot plains. Kashmir offers the cool pleasures of refreshing breeze, flowing water, and breathtaking mountain panoramas. The Mughal built their formal gardens here, with flowerbeds and water channels design to delight the beholder.
Kashmir valley is one of the most beautiful regions of India. The Mughal rulers of India were always happy to retreat from the heat of the plains to the cool green heights of Kashmir, and indeed Jehangir’s last words, when he died in 1627, en route to the ‘Happy Valley’ were a simple request for ‘only Kashmir’
