The land of swift-flowing,
sparkling rivers and
placid lakes, beflowered gardens laid out by connoisseurs
of all things beautiful,
temperate forests of shade and cool, valleys of emerald
green, and towering snow-clad
mountains is indeed the brightest that earth ever gave." Here, the hunter
and the angler, the skier and the liker will find all the sport they want. J&K is a
state with wide cultural and geographical contrasts. The political violence
in the
Kashmir valley since the late 1980s has discouraged most travellers
from visiting
the region.

Jammu to
Srinagar: On the Jammu-Srinagar route are the hill
resorts of Kud, Patuitop, and Batote.
Kashmir valley: One of the most beautiful regions of
India. Among Kashmirs greatest attractions are the Dal Lake houseboats. A visit to
Kashmir, it is often said, is not complete until you have stayed on a houseboat.
Gulmarg: The large meadow of Gulmarg is 52 km
south-west of Srinagar at 2730m. The name means "Meadow of Flowers" and in spring its
just that.
