Patnitop.-----------------
Dal lake view................................
The name J&K state, immediately paints a picture of lofty Himalayan Range(snow clad),The Chinar & Pine trees standing tall, cool placid lakes, snow fed streams,orchard laden with fruits & beautiful people living there,rich cultural heritages & handicrafts, famous Shrines etc.etc. -in our mind.
Though the region comprises of 3 distinct regions( both geographically& culturally)- THE JAMMU REGION , THE KASHMIR REGION & THE LADAKH REGION. Its an amalgamation of rich nature, heritage & culture.Its the 6th largest state of India. The rich & the varied terrain of J&K can be divided into 4 geographical zones- The dry belt(Kandi) comprises of the semi mountain plains, the Shivalik ranges; the high mountain zone consitute the kashmir valley; pirpanjal range & its offshootsincluding Doda,Poonch, Rajouri districts & parts of Kathua & Udhampur districts & the middle run of the Indus valley comprises Leh & Kargil.
Its a land of extreme climate. While it can be unbearably hot in the foot hills during summer, the people of Ladakh & Kashmir ,eagerly waits for the snow to melt. Jammu becomes a much more pleasant destination from 'oct-'february.But the best time to visit Kashmir & ladakh region is May to Sept'.The Dogras of Jammu region are known for their valour ,while themuslims of Kashmir are great artists &industrial people But the Ladakis are hardy race,as they have learnt to live & thrive even under themost hostile of conditions.
J& K is one of the most tourist friendly state even though, often people r scared of trouble in the region. Its a very well net road system that joins every corner of the vast region.Jammu ,often known as the temple city gets clogged with tourists & devotees who visits mata Vaishnodevi temple at Katra mostly during the Navratris............... Amarnath yatra too finds devotees coming from far off places to pay their homage ; besides many more temples across.Whereas the Kashmir region ,is famous for its awesome natural beauty...............Ladakh region is a adventure enthusiats paradise.....................The Khardung'la pass, Chang'la pass , Pangong lake , Nubra Valley are amongst the few which are a must visit on everyones travel itenary list.
