_Doda/Rahi Vijay Sharma_

Jammu & Kashmir is
land where nature has bestowed all her love- Enclosed by the Himalayas and Karakoram ranges; and festooned with verdant meadows, lush valleys, dense forests, historical Masjids and temples, Kashmir is a holiday destination to instantly fall in love with

Being an ideal tourist destination for domestic and foreign tourists, Jammu Kashmir is a perfect place for adventure enthusiasts.
