The Valley of Kashmir, is a part of the Indian state of Jammu & Kashmir that rises in tiers from the plains to encompass mountainous terrain, high altitude valleys and plateaus. Many things: its landscape, a lush green valley and rolling wooded uplands ringed by snowcapped mountains, crisscrossed by rivers and studded with lakes; Its rich profusion of trees and flowers and fruits--- the Himalayan cedar, the Chinars, the ramrod straight poplars, the pale pink foam of almond blossoms in spring, lotuses budding in the late summer heat, jewel like cherries glowing in wooden boxes, and in autumn, saffron-yielding crocuses in the plateaus of Pampore stretching purple as far as the eye can see.

You start really well but then seem to lose interest. It's often a good idea to keep it unpublished for a bit am
nd think what you can add. |
