Kashmir A PARADISE ON EARTH Description: Emerald green meadows, majestic mountains, bewitching lakes and valleys… Nestling in the lap of the dazzling, snow-capped Himalayas, the Kashmir Valley is undoubtedly a jewel in India’s crown. This paradise on earth is indeed a nature lover’s wonderland. Srinagar: The state capital is situated at an altitude of 1730 m. above sea level. The city of Srinagar stretches along the bank of the Jhelum River, which is spanned by nine old and several other new bridges. Canals intersect the city and link the Jhelum with the spring-fed Dal Lake, which is divided by causeways into four parts-Gagribal, Lokutdal, Boddal and Nagin. Pahalgam: At the confluence of the streams flowing from the river Lidder and Sheshnag lake, Pahalgam was once a humble shepherd’s village with pristine beauty and breathtaking views. At an altitude of 2130 m. and 96 km from Srinagar, Pahalgam is Kashmir’s premier resort; cool even during peak summer. Gulmarg: At an altitude of 2730 m. and 56 km from Srinagar, Gulmarg is a huge cup-shaped meadow, lush and green, with slopes where the silence is broken only by the tinkle of cow-bells.
