Exotic Kashmir : Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan had rightly said about Kashmir – If there is heaven on Earth its here, its here its here. What else a traveller wants if he finds heaven on the planet of his own. Geographically divided into two regions, all separately dominated by two different communities, as Jammu by the Brahmins, Kashmir by the Muslims, the state brings two different cultures placed next to each other but different from each other all together. Kashmir, especially the area around its capital town Srinagar has remained famous for its locations for film shoots from sixties till eighties when the area was badly hit by terrorism. Kashmir has opened its arms now again to welcome the tourists and displays its beauty in a platter for you.
