Nestled in the majestic Himalyas, Jammu & Kashmir, crowning on the Indian subcontinent, is a fantasy land of enigmatic beauty that is best experienced firsthand than being read about or heard. While the small town of Jammu has already earned its reputation since years for its wealth of holy shrines and temples that dot its rolling valleys, Kashmir, sticks true to nickname “the paradise on earth” with its spectacular landscapes, magical wilderness in its mystical forests and eye caressing scenic extravaganzas. The destination speaks volumes of its enamouring history and plethora of pilgrim spots. Treating your eyes to the blue – green, snow clad mountains silhouetting at a distance and bathing your senses in the intoxicating amalgam of scents exuded by the Pines, Deodas, Furs and Chinars, it is a meditation in itself which reconnects you to your magical soul and life experiences the romance between the souls that God has created through you, through Mother Nature and through the wonderful locals who embrace you with their warmest hospitality. So, let Paahun take you to this magical paradise, so that, you can experience pure bliss on Earth!
