The Beautiful Kashmir

    Surely beautiful is a under statement for Kashmir.the most beautiful valley of the world undoubtedly.This Valley is actually the Bowl Shaped Flat plain in the western region of Himalaya.It is drained by many rivers.in the Upper and Western side of Kashmir Valley there is a continous flow of neelum river.This side of Kashmir valley is mostly under Control of Pakistan with the exceptions of Uri and Punch areas.Nanga Parbat which is ninth highest mountain in the world is visible from almost all top mountains in the valley.The most beautiful Hill station of the Valley is undoubtedly Gulmarg.Gul means Flowers and Marg Means Grass so Gulmarg refers to the Flowery Meadows.Gulmarg is lying just at the Line of Control which is 4.5 km away from the hill station.
    There is a constant unrest in the teritorry under controlled of India. The beautiful valley of Kashmir is also structed by disasterous Earthquake on 8th october 2005.Broadly saying the valley of Kashmir extends all its way towards the north entering the North west frontier of Pakistan and leaving the Glimpses of Kashmir's beauty there.
    Here is a picture from the town of Sharda in Upper Neelum Valley.

      Oh Wow: what a great shot of this earthly paradise.
      Can you please post it to my Group: Kashmir the Heaven on earth. Thanks.
      And for your further information, This village (Sharda) has been a centre of Education in the old times, and there are ruins of a Budh University of ancient times in Sharda, still can be seen.
      Moreover, for your information Neelum Valley has been declared as a seperate district of AJK. Previously it was part of district Muzaffarabad which had three Tehsils, namely: Muzaffarabad, Hattian (Jhelum Valley), and Authmoqam (Neelum Valley). Now the old Authmoqam Tehsil has been upgraded and named as Neelum District since 3rd quarter of 2005.

      This is actually a good news that neelum valley is converted in to a separate district as i noticed previously the size of Muzaffarabad District become too big to handle it administratively.

      It would have been more appropriate if you take permission from the owner before uploading someone else's image on your page. The image is part of my album named "Pakistan - My Home" featured on March '06 www.webshots.com.
