Welcome to Srinagar, Kashmir. Here one can be safely away from all the noise and air pollution. Nowhere in the world can you find such combination of forest, water and high mountains as in Kashmir.

Few destinations can be so romantic and undisturbed as the city of Srinagar in Kashmir. Srinagar is famous for its beautiful houseboats surrounded by beautiful lotus flowers. You can find the steep waterfalls and hundreds of gardens with walnut, cherry, pear, peach and apple trees in thousands, mixed with parks full of flowers, which cannot be described in words.
The scenic Dal Lake with the high range of the Himalayas as its background in the snow covered tops in sparkling sunshine. You wake up in the morning in an exotic houseboat. The day is spent in a Shikara (river-boat). Maybe you would like to go to the 18-hole golf course or maybe to a picnic at some of the fabulous garden of Nishat or Shalimar. Those who want something more adventurous can also go trekking up to Shankara charya's temple with its marvellous valleys.
Its breathtaking beauty with marvellous scenery looks as though it is created for the honeymoon lovers or for those who want to be seduced by the landscape beauty. Kashmir is a wonderful state with a combination of history, mythology and legends. In the17th century, a Mogul Ruler, Jehangir, son of Akbar, during his visit to Kashmir, wrote; "If there is a paradise on earth, it is here, it is here, it is here!" Maybe this is the last place of the paradise?
