The Kashmir valley sprawls scenically at 1730 meters above sea-level between two majestic mountain ranges; the Great Himalayan Range to the south and the Pir Panjal Range to the north. Srinagar is located in the heart of the valley, spread on both sides of the Jhelum River. Dal and Nagin Lakes are most famous for the more than one thousand houseboats which line their shores. Those floating accommodations range from low-budget to luxurious.
The Old City section of Srinagar maintains a rich, ancient character and history with red-brick buildings, mosques and shrines with pagoda-style roofs, and bustling bazaars filled with a wide variety of unique Kashmiri handicrafts. Rows of doongas flank the river. Those boats with their shingled roofs are the forerunner of the larger houseboats. Indian Airlines and Jet Airways each offer daily flights from Delhi, Mumbai, and Jammu. As of May 2007, the two-lane road from Jammu also re-opened. Any travels through India would not be complete without a visit to this magnificent valley which the Moguls aptly called 'Paradise on Earth'.

As springtime warmed, the buds of trees began to slowly blossom and tint the landscape green. Eager owners anxiously prepared for the approaching summer season by scrubbing their houseboats with bristle brushes, brooms, and buckets of lake water. Docks were painted and Dal Lake took on a fresh appearance.
Four large swim-boats were positioned onto the middle of the lake. They had the same hull and flat-top roof as the massive houseboats but no walls, their sides open. Swimme...

Srinagar was an interesting experience. the army guy who looked super angry tried to get me to go back on the plane before i even set foot on kashmiri concrete. he was like shouting at the stewardess in unknown language and pointing at me - probably something along the lines of "get this white girl out of here." or something. well eventually after pointing at the word srinagar on my ticket he gave up and gruffly pointed for me to wander in front of runways to get to the arrivals hall. then of...

Kashmir is the most northern part of India. It's been a disputed territory for years but the recent troubles have subsided considerably and as long as you take sensible precautions, you'll be fine. Staying on a houseboat is magical. Travelling into the mountains serene ... it's a beautifully lush valley and I can't wait to go back!

On Sunday morning we flew into Srinagar - that has got to be rated as one of the best flights with views! Flying over the Himalayas is spectacular, what a beautiful view!
I arrived at Dal Lake in the afternoon, and was dropped off at the house boat I would be staying on. It was fab, lovely wood carvings, not something like I have ever seen before. I spent a lot of time seeing the market, the floating market, the botancial gardens, Srinagar town etc and the Kasmiri people are very handsome/pr...
