The Heaven of India

Kalidas writes about Kashmir valley: "the place is more beautiful than heaven and is the benefactor of supreme bliss and happiness. It seems to me that I am taking a bath in the lake of nectar here. The valley is an emerald set in pearls, land of lakes, clear streams, green turf, magnificent trees, and mighty mountains where the air is cool and water is sweet, where men are strong and women are beautiful like fruits."Nature has bestowed unlimited grace and grandeur to the valley. Its scenic beauty is unparallel. The Chinar is a royal tree and the walnut belongs to Kashmir. Its green leaves become red in autumn and later fall down on the ground where these are meticulously collected by the housewives in villages for use as fuel etc, during hard winter months. That is why this valley is compared with Paradise. The amazing climate of Kashmir valley had attracted lakh of tourists every year.
