The
Himalayan Valley of Kashmir is known all over the world for its
beauty and charm. The State of
Jammu and Kashmir is not merely the
Vale of Kashmir but it
is a very large state, only slightly smaller than the British
islands. Kashmir is also known as as the Switzerland of Asia. It is
simply a paradise on the earth. Kashmir has been one of the most
visited states of
India and consequently has many facilities to
offer to the visitor. Travel to Kashmir with us.
Day 01: Srinagar
In the morning arrive at Srinagar airport or railway station.
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 our representative and
transferred to the House Boat on the Dal Lake. Rest of the
day free for leisure to explore the beautiful surroundings in
Srinagar.
Day 02: Srinagar
Today we visit the famous Mughal gardens in Srinagar. The Mughal
emperors often visited Kashmir. They planted gardens with sloped
terraces and flowing watercourses. Chashma Shahi, Nishat Bagh and
Shalimar Bagh are the three famous Mughal gardens in Kashmir.
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 Bagh and
Shalimar Bagh. Nishat Bagh is the larger of the two gardens and has
an impressive plantation of Chenar trees on its highest terrace.
This garden was built by Noor Jahan’s brother, Asaf Khan and lies
alongside the Dal lake. Shalimar Bagh was built by the Mughal
emperor Jahangir, whose love for Kashmir was legendary. The Shalimar
Bagh is a series of stone pavilions and flowing water with paint box
bright flowerbeds.
