KASHMIR EXCURSION

 


The Vale of Kashmir has always been considered one of the most beautiful places on earth. Surrounded by high mountains and picturesque lakes, the valley attracted the attention of the British Raj at the end of the 19th century. As a result of this, a number of houseboats were moored on Dal Lake, offering comfortable accommodation and local cuisine. This long tradition continues today. Located at an altitude of 1652 meters, the valley is surrounded by beautiful mountains.
