Welcome to Kashmir
The state of Jammu
& Kashmir (J&K) brings together three incredibly different worlds.
Hindu Jammu and Katra, in the south, are the state's rail hubs and a major draw
for domestic pilgrims. Muslim Kashmir is India's Switzerland, attracting hordes
of local tourists seeking cool summer air, alpine scenery and Srinagar’s
romantic houseboat accommodationSrinagar
- Ringed by an arc of green mountains, Srinagar's
greatest drawcard is mesmerisingly placid Dal Lake, on which a bright array of
stationary houseboats and shikara (gondola-like boats) add a splash of colour
and a unique opportunity for romantic chill-outs. Charming Mughal gardens dot
the lake's less urbanised eastern shore; while the old town bustles with
fascinating Central Asian–style bazaars and a collection of soulful Sufi
shrines, as well as a fortress and many historic wooden mosques. Add in a mild
summer climate, feisty Kashmiri cuisine and famous local apples, walnuts and
almonds, and you have one of India’s top tourist draws.
