• The state of Jammu and Kashmir has three regions
  Jammu, Kashmir Valley and Ladakh which are
  quite distinct from each other. The part which we
  have been made aware of mostly is the Kashmir
  Valley. It is here that most of the tourist sites
  are located

Srinagar

• The very first place you will have to disembark
  at in order to head to other places is the
  capital city of Srinagar, known as Venice of the
  East or Kashmiri Venice.
• The city with its wooden structures set in the
  magnificent backdrop of hills will steal your
  heart. Visit during the time as winter is setting
  in and you will see the first snowflakes too.
• Once you get acquainted with the snowfall, try
  out the Dal Lake. Get on board a shikara or
  houseboat and witness the beauty of nature. Try
  out this place in the morning after sunrise or an
  hour or two before sunset.

• There are many gardens in the city, but the one
  you ought to visit is the Shalimar Bagh built by
  Jahangir, the fourth Mughal emperor in 1619.

Charar-i-Shareef

• If you are seeking spirituality nearby,
  Charar-i-Shareef located at a distance of 28 km
  to the south-west of Srinagar city is where you
  need to pay a visit.
• The town is famous for the 600-year-old wooden
  mausoleum of Sheikh Noor-ud-Deen Noorani, who
  preached Islam in Kashmir via his poetry.
•  Legend has it that the saints coffin flew some
  distance before landing on the place where he
  currently lies buried. It is a prime attraction
  for people of all faiths.

• With a short two-day trip to the Valley, these
  are the places, not worth a miss. The experiences
  here will not make give you a feeling of monotony
  or boredom. Be sure to try out the samovar tea
  served by locals. After all, this is just the
  safe drink to keep you warm in the snow.
