5 DAYS 4 NIGHTS KASHMIR - THE PARADISE ON EARTH
Overview
Kashmir is a scenic, mountainous region in the northwestern Indian subcontinent, often referred to as a "paradise on earth" due to its lush valleys and Himalayan peaks. It has been a central flashpoint of dispute between India and Pakistan since 1947, divided by a "Line of Control" into Indian-administered (Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh) and Pakistani-administered (Azad Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan) zones, with China controlling part of the territory.
