Winter in
Kashmir
By Hawa Patel

From the bustling streets of
Mumbai into the Old City of
Delhi - to the scenic Taj
Mahal in Agra, India
captures the imagination
beyond belief. The diversity
of landscape and culture is
especially pronounced in the
North. The trip to the North
is incomplete without taking
the domestic flight to
Kashmir. Kashmir is the
northernmost region of the
Indian subcontinent .
The brightly painted shikar
(waterboats) gliding along the
waterways between the Dal Lake,
Nagin Lake and the river Jhelum,
passing formal Mughal gardens,
villages and island – is simply
picturesque. During the winter,
Kashmir has a mystical beauty. In
summer the breathtaking gardens
from the Mughal Gardens,
Shalimar, Nishat and Chashm-e-
Shahi blossom like a tapestry of
intricate colours. \
