Kashmir can divide your life into two halves before and
after Kashmir. For indeed, after a trip to this unforgettable
land, you are never quite the same again. Nestling in the lap
of the dazzling, snow - capped Himalayas, the Kashmir valley
is undoubtedly a jewel in India's crown. An inspiration for so
much art, music and poetry, Kashmir is also a honeymooner's
paradise, a nature lovers wonderland and a shoppers dream come
true.
Ladakh is a land like no other. Bounded by
two of the world mightiest ranges, the great Himalayas and the
Karakoram, it lies athwart two others, the ladakh range and
the Zanskar range,formed only few million years ago by the
bucking and folding of the earth's crust as the Indian sub
continent pushed with irresistible force against the immovable
mass of Asia.
