North India is dotted with picturesque Himalayan resorts.
Outstanding among them is Kashmir valley described by
Mongol Emperor Jahangir as the "Paradise on
Earth".
Jammu and Kashmir's summer capital , Srinagar lies on the
banks of the river Jhelum, which is spanned by nine
bridges.
Srinagar has many charms: Excellent accommodation in
houseboats moored on the banks of the lakes, a Shikara
people boat ride in the quiet of moonlit night with hills
rising in the background and limitless variety of
handicrafts. But Srinagar is only the starting point of
holiday in Kashmir.
Snow-capped peaks and wild majesty of mountains and rocks
in and beyond Pahalgam contrast with the grace of the
sophisticated summer and winter resort of Gulmarg, laid
out with one of the world's highest golf courses.
