A name when softly murmured stirs the memories of bygone Golden
Ages - Alexander, Ashoka, Akbar... Kashmir! The whisper evokes a
portrait of beauty: the stunning snow capped peaks of the
Himalayas: flower strewn valleys dazzling the eye with all the
colors of the rainbows and lakes, with floating gardens, teeming
with wildlife.
History has played a decisive role in shaping this beauty. The
love for Kashmir by the Mughal Emperor Jehangir was legendary and
he followed the example of his predecessors and planted a unique
pleasure garden. Melodiously flowing waters, cool pavilions and
shady trees make the gardens a joy to wander. Mughal names evoke
romance and passion - Shalimar, Nishat, Achhabal and Chesmashahi.
Above all Kashmir has a strong spiritual essence; the
aura of the surrounding beauty makes it a place to commune closely
with nature and ones inner being. Buddhism, Hinduism and
Islam have all left their indelible marks. There are many Pilgrimages
sites to visit including the Shankaracharya Temple dedicated to
Lord Shiva, Chart Padshahi Gurudwara - an important Sikh shrines,
the Jama Masjid in Srinagar and the Kheer Bhavani Temple,
Amarnath
Caves and Baba Rishi. All bring peace and contentment to the
Pilgrim.
Today tourists are beginning to realize that modern
Kashmir, is once again, becoming a place to unwind - Kashmir
