Located across six major mountain ranges, and spread over an area of2, 22,236 sq. kms, Jammu & Kashmir is India’s northern most state bordered by Pakistan and China’s Tibetan Plateau. Kashmir valley is rightly said to be nature's grand finale of beauty. In this masterpiece of earth's creation seasons in strong individuality vie with one another in putting up exquisite patterns of charm and loveliness. This state holds the glorious history of the valiant kings, the placid lakes, the greenery of the forests and the amazing rivers.

The state is divided into three distinct regions – Kashmir, Jammu and the Ladakh valley. The state offers a rich diversity of landscapes, religions, and people. The Kashmir valley is a mosaic of forests, waterways and covered with snow clad mountains. The Jammu region provides religious destinations to the Hindus. Here the shrine of Mata Vaishnu Devi is situated and the site is beautiful enough to stare. The third is the Ladakh region situated on the high altitude of Himalayan Mountains and is a sparsely populated desert studded with Buddhist monasteries which are its main attraction.
