Each province is different in all aspects, right from the landscapes to the religion followed. Jammu has the major population of Hindu community, Kashmir is mainly occupied by Muslims and most people in Ladakh follow Buddhism. Kashmir is most famous for its serene lakes sprinkled throughout the province. An evening on the shores of these lakes or a calm ride on the Shikaras, for most people turns out to be the best moments of their trip in the laps of nature. Spending few days in a houseboat are more enthralling than spending a week in the most luxurious hotel. But nothing compares to the adventure activities that you can indulge in. Ladakh is a land no other. Bounded by two of the world's mightiest mountain ranges, the great Himalaya and the Karakorum, it lies athwart two others, the Ladakh range and the Zanskar range Ladakh region. With snow capped mountains, fast flowing rivers, this is a world beyond imagination. Here, apart from taking the toughest treks, you can also indulge in river rafting which is really a mind-blowing experience. Rush of blood during the adventure activity is not the only feeling that you get here. Only few are places that purify your soul more than Jammu and Kashmir. It is also one of the most visited Pilgrimage State in India, Pilgrims throng to state to visit few of the holiest Hindu shrines like Mai Vaishno Devi and Amarnath Cave and one of the sacred most shrines for Muslims, Haziratbal and for the Ladakh is the place where you will find the biggest and most important Buddhist monasteries in India |
