DESCRIPTION
Kashmir has been for centuries the fountainhead of art and culture in the East. At the cross-roads of the ancient caravan routes in Central Asia, Kashmir has been the meeting point of various cultures. In her spacious valleys, she has harmoniously blended their myriad trends to produce a civilisation distinctive of her people and her heritage. But Kashmir is more than a civilisation. She is an answer to man's eternal craving for scenic beauty.
