A lilttle about Srinagar

Srinagar, capital of Kashmir is no doubt a beautiful valley.A Bird View from the winding roads coming from Patnitop to Srinagar will give you the impression of a "bowl of mountains with the capital as soup", it engulfs the valley 360degree and gives it a secure feel.But it is Srinagar that has the burns of the most terrifying wars, attacks and conflicts.If you are aware of those periods chill will shiver down your spine when you visit Hazrat Bal.Nevertheless people of Kashmir will make you feel at home with their hospitality and you'll soon forget the dark days and simply be lost in the charismatic and enchanting creation of God, Kashmir.

 Shankaracharya Temple is also a place to visit(photography is strictly prohibited inside the shrine).The most beautiful view of Srinagar is available from the top most steps out of the 1000 to climb the abode.You get immense sense of peace and harmony at such heights and also because of the serenity of the surroundings.

Tour Starts

My tour started from Patnitop.... it is a hill station before Srinagar  nearly 110kms from Jammu Airport.Its a peaceful and serene place. The govt. cottage is pretty good and the best part is the Greenery! so green that you must feel relaxed and refreshed before the tour begins. I suggest you to halt at Patnitop before starting your journey to gain that extra energy. Patnitop is picturesquely situated at a high altitude, there are many pleasant walks around this popular hill station

KASHMIR --- Paradise on EARTH

It's rightly called so. The beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. This is also true.
