Kashmir the pradise on Earth
Set like a jewelled crown on the map of India, Kashmir is a
multi-faceted diamond, changing its hues with the seasons -
always extravagantly beautiful. Two major Himalayan ranges, the
Great Himalayan Range and the Pir Panjal, surround the landscape
from the north and south respectively. They are the source of
great rivers, which flow down into the valleys, forested with
orchards and decorated by lily-laden lakes.
The Mughals aptly called Kashmir ‘Paradise on Earth’ where they
journeyed across the hot plains of India, to the valley’s cool
environs in summer. |
