Heaven on Earth” is a phrase frequently associated with Kashmir, a region in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent. Renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty, Kashmir is characterized by snow-capped mountains, serene lakes, lush green valleys, and exquisite gardens. The Dal Lake, surrounded by houseboats and the Mughal Gardens in Srinagar, contribute to the region’s paradisiacal allure. Despite geopolitical complexities, Kashmir’s landscape has earned it the affectionate moniker of being a “Heaven on Earth” among poets, travelers, and admirers of nature.
