Hi all, This post is from my Kashmir Diary. We explored so many things over there. Kahwah was one of them. How many of you know Kahwah? Wondering what is Kahwah ?   It is the special tea of Kashmir which is made by boiling green tree leaves with Kesar (saffron strand) and all dry fruits. You will not get our regular ginger-cardamom tea in kashmir but you will get  KAHWAH  at every place which tastes awesome.  I don't know whether it will give out the same taste in Mumbai or not. We have humid weather compared to the Kashmir and every place has its own specialty. I believe the things are special due to its place and weather. The first time we had Kahwah on Gulmarg visit in a tiny hut. The old man boiled this tea in a copper kettle on coal. Then at every point throughout the whole tour of Kashmir even on normal tea stall, we had the same drink with a little bit of variety in taste.  Shopping is always an invitable part of any tour. We tourist love to shop special  things bel

Srinagar is Largest City in Jammu and Kashmir that is lie on Kashmir Valley and on the bank of Jhelum River.  The arc of Green Mountain and soothing climate surrounds the city. The city is famous for its natural beauty, Shikara ride on Dal Lake, landscape gardens and most beautiful handicrafts items. I loved about the city is that constantly a green, snowy mountains follows you wherever you go and Jhelum river is with you across all the streets. The water fountains on the Dal Lake and all sky touching slanted tress are like a painting.   No wonder, from this place only the artist get the inspiration for the nature painting. Srinagar is the place where you can seat with your love one for hour and hour without whispering a single world. It is like soaking the beautiful moments where Mother Nature has gives out plenty of blessing to you. pic source : google You should go with your loved one; either it is your boyfriend, girlfriend or else your spouse.
