About Flicker for Kashmir

Kashmir is one of the most beautiful places on earth. It's the northernmost part of the Indian subcontinent. Besides being popular for tourism Kashmir is well- known for its rich and unique cultural heritage that notably includes fantastic cuisine, handicrafts, and more.

Nature has been generously lavish in bestowing upon the land of Kashmir an awe-inspiring beauty which is beyond the description of words. Whether it was the 6th century traveler Hiuen Tsaing who, awestruck by the magnetic beauty of its scenic terrains, spent at least 2 years of his life in Kashmir; or Kalhana, a Kashmiri poet who wrote: ‘things that even in heaven are difficult to find are common here’; or, the Persian poet, Urfi who captured its entire beauty in a couplet, ‘if at all there is heaven on earth it is here, it is here, it is here’, Kashmir has never failed to entice its spectator.

‘Flicker for Kashmir’ has been created to promote the beauty of Kashmir by pooling-in the most exquisite pictures of this dreamland.
