Kashmir may have been the focal point of some cross-border conflicts over the years but there has been no decline in its popularity or in its beauty for that matter. Kashmir packages continue to enjoy massive demand with avid tourists flocking into this ‘paradise’ of Earth. While the rapturous Himalayas and the snow-laden trees are good enough to keep you gawking, there is a lot of task that lies ahead for a sightseer.

Here are some must-see places of Kashmir:

Dal Lake: Dal Lake is a rhapsody sculpted over water! It is easily the most panoramic lake in India. Surrounded by the mountains whose reflections on the pellucid water have been drawing gasps from admirers for centuries, it is easy to fall for the bait of a shikara ride on this splendid lake especially if you are accompanied by your soul-mate. Romantic, breezy, picturesque and serene – Dal Lake is the undisputed ace of Kashmir tourism.

Nishat Bagh: It is a beautiful Mughal garden of eye-catching beauty and vivid greenery. It is also generously spread over huge acres and is only second ...
... to Shalimar Bagh (another famous Mughal garden) in terms of area.

Shankaracharya Temple: Srinagar houses the spiritual temple of Shankaracharya which is visited with enthusiasm by tourists and pilgrims alike. It is scenically situated on the top of a high hill and carries that quintessential soulful feel. This site is included in most Jammu Kashmir tourism packages.

Nagin Lake: It is one of the bluest lakes you will find on the planet. The bluish hue is owing to its turquoise water and the dark mountains which encircle the lake. The trees that line the shores add an emerald color to the surface, making this place extremely panoramic and romantic.

Vaishno Devi Mandir: Jammu and Kashmir tourism also lures devout Hindu pilgrims heading for the religious temple of Vaishno Devi. The hillside location of the temple deep inside the pristine caves adds a sense of enigma to this site. It is another must-visit.
Jama Masjid: Jama Masjid is the biggest mosque of the state and stands out because of its holy atmosphere and stunning architecture. You can also check this one out.

Gulmarg, Sonamarg and Pahalgam: These beautiful towns are just a few kilometers away from Srinagar and so most Kashmir packages include them in the itinerary. Their flower-laden alleys and pure, unspoiled beauty is so chaste that it would be a sin to miss out on them.
