want to travel to Kashmir and also want to visit Amarnath Holy
Shrine. The Amarnath Cave is one of the holiest naturally occurring
shrines of the Hindu faith. The Amarnath tour takes place in
India
annually only in the month of July and August. Extending upto 130
feet, the Amarnath Cave is high and shallow and inside the Cave
there is a huge "Linga of Ice". The Amarnath tour is
conducted in the state of Jammu & Kashmir. It will be a great
experience for us to visit this holy shrine.

Srinagar
has been described by some visitors as the Venice of the East. This
beautiful city was established by Emperor Ashoka some 2300 years
ago. A unique charm of Srinagar is its 1300 or more houseboats, the
floating little hotels on the edge of the Dal Lake. Upon
arrival you will be met by representative and transferred to one of
this house boat on Dal Lake. In the afternoon we have Shikara
ride on Dal Lake and also visit the floating gardens.

gardens first of all you will view the
Chashma Shahi. Chashma Shahi means the Royal Spring and is dedicated
to the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. The spring waters are believed to
have curative properties.
After visiting the Chashma Shahi we visit the Nishat and Shalimar
Mughal Gardens. Nishat is the larger of the two gardens and has an
impressive plantation of Chenar trees on its highest terrace. Both
the gardens are built on a symmetrical plan of central waterways
with fountains dividing a series of gardened terraces.
