                              Srinagar city tour:

Come with me and visit the city where I was born in beautiful state of Kashmir .
Srinagar is the summer capital of Jammu and  Kashmir .
Since the time of mughals both British and Indians come to Kashmir to spend summer vacation and to run away from the extreme heat in India .
Srinagar has a lot to offer to its tourists the main attraction definetly is Dal Lake with its beautiful houseboats.
For the people who love flowers we have gorgeous mughal gardens which are full of blossoms during spring and summer. The Chinar tree (Maple tree) is the most gorgeous and tallest tree in Kashmir and they give beautiful shade in spring and summer time.
When you come to Srinagar you must try our delicious Wazwan cuisine and delightful Kashmiri saffron tea known as kehwas tea (keh means 11 wah means spices ) 11 spices in the tea.
Below  are some images showing many attractions in Srinagar .
Come and see all these beauties with your own eyes.

Meaning... if there is heaven on earth, its here, its here, its here. (Kashmir).

This is not even a million of a fraction of the beauty of Kashmir. Its beauty cannot be either captured by any photographer or expressed by any poet. It is a lifetime experience. It is to be felt, through sight, and through spirit and soul.
