Jammu and Kashmir touris About Jammu & Kashmir




Come and explore the crown of India- where the natural beauty is blest by the Gods... where the misty morning sprawls over the snow clad peaks... where the sunlight gives a gentle touch to the woods and waters, valleys and hillside... If there is heaven on earth, it is here in the divine lands of Jammu & Kashmir!!







Jammu & Kashmir, the sixth largest state of the Indian union, is mostly mountainous with stretches of valleys and some mountain lakes. Nature lovers from all over the world flock to this northernmost extremity of India for destinations such as Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Leh, Patnitop, and Ladakh, comparable to the Alps.





Kashmir's 200-Year Kashmir's 200-Year History






Kashmir is the land of beautiful valleys, high mountains, crystal clear water falls, beautiful landscape & range lands, forests, rivers, beautiful lakes, etc. It is called heaven on earth. Kashmir has 5,000 old history. It was a state of Saints and noble people. The people of different religions were living in peace and harmony. But in 1818, Maharaja Ranjeet Sing attacked the warrior tribe of Poonch ( Suddozai's)  at Mung & Palandri. His army was defeated badly by Suddans. Ranjeet Sing was never defeated in war & he was calling himself the 2nd Alexander the Great, but after this defeat by Suddans he stopped calling himself Alexander.


Then in 1832, Ghulab Sing attacked Poonch again with an army of 600,000 troops against only 60,000 Suddhans Worriors. They slaughtered 35,000 young Suddhans and skinned of 27 Big Elders including Sardar Sabaz Ali Khan & Sardar Malli Khan. 2,700 children & 7,000 women were raped and then murdered. Then, in 1947 the sub-continent was divided on the basis of Two Nation theory ( Hindus & Muslims).

The manufacturing industries for handicrafts, rugs and shawls contribute a major part in the state's economy.
The state of Jammu & Kashmir is situated mostly in the Himalayan mountains, therefore it is frequently visited by the adventure enthusiasts for trekking, rafting and skiing. Some of the major pilgrimage centers of India, including the Amarnath Caves and Vaishnodevi Shrine are situated in Jammu and Kashmir. Therefore, tourism also contributes a lot towards the economy


May be they will divide Kashmir in to five regions with self -governance rule can be applied. This year is very important for Kashmir's. God help them so they unite this time to decide their future because if there is peace between these two Nuclear Rivals India & Pakistan South east Asia will make progress in leaps and bounds.
