About Jammu & kashmir Jammu and Kashmir is the northern most state of India, nestled in the Himalayas. It is blessed with magnificent beauty. Being here in the land, one thinks the famous lines of Persian poet Firdaus to be justifiably right; “Agar Firdaus bar me Zaminast Haminasto haminnasto haminasto." (If there is heaven anywhere on earth, it is here, it is here, it is here). The state of Jammu and Kashmir includes the regions of Kashmir, Jammu and Ladakh. Kashmir is one of India's most beautiful and popular regions and has been since the time of the great Mogul emperors. It's probably most famous for the houseboats on picturesque Dal Lake you've not really been to Kashmir until you've stayed on one - but there's a lot more to the Kashmir Valley than just lazing on board.
