Kashmir is stunning and enchanting, cradled high in the majestic green Himalayas and admired all over the world for its exceptional natural beauty. With its lofty hills, lush green valleys, glistening lakes, temples, and gorgeous Mughal-era gardens, it has long inspired writers. Add in the appeal of wonderful Kashmiri cuisine as well as apples, walnuts, dry fruits, and Kesar from nearby orchards.
