Places to visit in Kashmir
GULMARG
Gulmarg's legendary beauty, prime location and proximity to Srinagar naturally make it one of the premier hill resorts in the country. Originally called 'Gaurimarg' by shepherds, its present name was given in the 16th century by Sultan Yusuf Shah, who was inspired by the sight of its grassy slopes emblazoned with wild flowers. Gulmarg was a favourite haunt of Emperor Jehangir who once collected 21 different varieties of flowers from here. Today Gulmarg is not merely a mountain resort of exceptional beauty- it also has the highest green golf course in the world, at an altitude of 2,650 m, and is the country's premier ski resort in the winter.

PAHALGAM
Situated at the confluence of the streams flowing from Sheshnag Lake and the Lidder river, Pahalgam (2,130 m) was once a humble shepherd's village with breathtaking views. Now it is Kashmir's premier resort, cool even during the height of summer when the maximum temperature does not exceed 250C. A number of hotels and lodges cater to all preferences and budgets, from luxurious hotels to unpretentious trekkers' lodges, including J&K TDC's huts.

SONAMARG
The drive to Sonamarg is through the Sindh Valley which presents yet another spectacular facet of countryside in Kashmir. Situated at an altitude of 2730 m, Sonamarg (‘The meadow of gold’) has, as its backdrop, snowy mountains against a cerulean sky. The Sindh River that meanders through the valley abounds with trout and mahaseer. Ponies can be hired for the trip up to Thajiwas glacier, which is a major local attraction during the summer months.

Amarnath
"The Himalayan pilgrimages are the oldest organised travel system, evolved over time by Hindu sages and embodying the spirit of wander, adventure and spirituality" One of the holy trinity, Shiva is a living god. The most ancient and sacred book of India, the Rig Veda evokes his presence in its hymns. Vedic myths, ritual and even astronomy testify to his existence from the dawn of time. Shiva is known to have made his home in the Himalayas. He built no house nor shelter, not for himself or his bride. He was an ascetic, and yet married; he could be both for "he was the wild god sporting in the forest or taking his ease on a cloud." Legend has it that Shiva recounted to Parvati the secret of creation in the Amarnathji cave. Unknown to them, a pair of mating pigeons eavesdropped on this conversation and having learned the secret, are reborn again and again, and have made the cave their eternal abode. Many pilgrims report seeing the pigeons-pair when they trek the arduous route to pay obeisance before the ice-lingam (the phallic symbol of Shiva).

Re: Places to visit in Kashmir
कश्मीर की खूबसूरती का कोई मुकाबला नहीं है. आपने इस सूत्र में वहां की इसी खूबसूरती को पकड़ने की अच्छी कोशिश की है, आपका धन्यवाद. कश्मीर के और भी बहुत से इलाके पर्यटन की दृष्टि से बहुत महत्त्वपूर्ण हैं जैसे - डल लेक, नगीन लेक, शालीमार गार्डन, निशात बाग़, चश्मा शाही, पहलगाम, सोन मर्ग, खिलन मर्ग, अनंतनाग, बर्फ़ बारी में गुलमर्ग आदि आदि.
इसके अतिरिक्त यहाँ की एक ख़ास चीज और भी है जिसकी खूबसूरती भी कमाल की है. वो हैं यहाँ के लकड़ी के छोटे बड़े पुल जो स्थानीय निवासियों की सुविधा के लिए नहरों या जलधाराओं के ऊपर बनाए गए हैं. श्री नगर में भी इस प्रकार के अनेकों सुन्दर पुल हैं जैसे अमीरा कदल जो महाराजा बाजार के पास है और ज़ीरो ब्रिज आदि. क्या ही अच्छा हो यदि कोई इनके चित्र फोरम पर दे सके.

Re: Places to visit in Kashmir
The Pahalgam hill station is located in the North of Jammu and Kashmir states of India. The hill station is at approximately eight thousand meters height above sea level. Pahalgam is located around ninety kilometers from the Srinagar town. The Pahalgam tourist places have many attractions. Some are manmade but multiple others are natural. One of the Pahalgam attractions is the vegetation of the area. Tall pine trees cover the area. The all green valley’s covered with green shrubs and trees are a natural attractor.
