Kashmir’s greatest historian, Kalhan, writes about his native land : “It is a country where the sun shines mildly, being the place created by Rishi Kashyap, for his glory – big and lofty houses, learning, saffron, icy cool water and grapes rare in Heaven are plentiful here – Kailash is the best place in the three worlds (Tri-lok), Himalayas the best place in Kailash, and Kashmir the best place in Himalayas”. And we added more to this “that the Gulmarg is best Place in Kashmir”.
