Kashmir has always been more than a mere place. It has quality of  an experience, or a state of mind or perhaps an ideal.

       -Jan Morris

Let me tell you all that if you haven't visited kashmir yet you are not lucky enough the visit the heaven on earth. i would suggest all of you to plan a trip with your parents or friends to kashmir and feel the mesmerising beauty and give your mind a relaxing and soothing touch.

     I don't understand why many people spend lots of money on foreign trips why don't they spend it to visit Kashmir because there is no match of Kashmir's beauty and it will even contribute to country's economical development.

   There is a popular saying of Amir Khusru about kashmir that is "Gar firdaus bar-rue zamin ast, hami asto! Hami asto! Hami ast" which means If ever there is paradise on earth, it is here!.

     Not only about natural beauty Kashmir has even produced some of the best sufi poets who include Lal Ded , Mahjoor , Rasool mir and many more even in modern times.

            There is not only a single place to visit in kashmir but it is blessed with many natural beauties that include Gulmarg, Pehalgam , Sonmarg , Dal lake , Aharbal Waterfalls, Per ki Gali as health resorts and also many spiritual places that include Dargah Hazratbal , Shankaracharya, Amarnath caves, Dargah Makhdoom sahib and many more.

   Even the food of Kashmir called Kashmiri wazwan that includes Rista, Ghousteaab, Yekhni, Kabab is famous throughout the world. Kashmir including Spain and Iran are the only places that cultivate saffron which has its medicinal value.

      Even Kashmiri Apples are exported to all over the places in World making it one of the largest Apple exporting place.

What are the misconceptions about Kashmir?

• The biggest misconception is that if you don't belong to Kashmir or are not muslim you will be killed but what is truth is that Kashmir's hospitality is famous throughout the World just because of some myths Kashmir's hospitality lost its value.
• The second misconception is that Kashmir is not peaceful for tourists but the fact is that it is peaceful for tourists but not for Kashmiris.
• The other misconceptions include killing of pilgrims, hostage of tourists and others but these are all wrong because of many interviews of tourists who talk about kashmir.

So if you haven't visited kashmir yet do plan a trip it is gonna be the best trip of your life believe me.
