Jammu Kashmir
The storybook scenery of the vale of Kashmir has been
legendary throughout history, but few outside the Indian subcontinent are
aware that the state of Jammu and Kashmir combines three distinct areas,
each unique physically, culturally and aesthetically. Not only do the people
in Jammu, Kasmir and Ladakh region live in radically different environments;
they also possess a very distinct cultural heritage. This diversity enhances
the mystery of the remote mountain valleys and flavours the cultural
complexities of busy urban centers.
