India :
Kashmir is a many faceteddiamond, changing character with the seasons - always extravagantly beautiful.Three Himalayan ranges are the birthplace of great rivers which flow through the kashmir valley. Srinagar is at once a collection of images : a son-et-lumiere that tells the story of the love of the Mughal emperors for this paradise vale; deep green rice fields and river bridges of gardens in bloom and lakes rimmed by houseboats. The river Jhelum and the Dal and Nagin lakes dominate Srinagar and its life and activities.Here lush wild gardens of lotus and waterlily flower amidst bustling lanes.By the lakeside spread the gardens of the Mughals in patterned beauty.And the people move with a tranquillity borne of a history laden pulse of activity. Kashmir is very popular for its Pashmina shawls. These shawls are made from the traditional woolen textile obtained from the mountain goat. Here are produced the best hand embroidery work in India and the famous embroidered scarf. A journey to Kashmir offers you an opportunity to feel the rich and deep-rooted ancient tradition in the Indian culture.
