A time lapse video of clouds pass over the drier region of Kashmir Valley. The higher reaches of Kashmir lead into Zanskar and Ladakh, and are drier and more rain-deprived, but the beauty and starkness remain and get heightened with altitude... The greener valleys more closely associated with the Srinagar valley - Pahalgam, Gulmarg, Sonemarg / Sonmarg, Tanmarg, Khilanmarg and the rest are more familiar to the Indian tourist thanks to Bollywood, but so much more lies up ahead...
The Kashmir Valley or Vale of Kashmir is a valley located between the Karakoram and the Pir Panjal Range in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. No part of the valley lies in the area currently administered by Pakistan. It is around 135 km long and 32 km wide, formed by the Jhelum River. Kashmir Valley is one of the three administrative divisions in Jammu and Kashmir state and consists of Anantnag, Baramulla, Budgam, Bandipore, Ganderbal, Kupwara, Kulgam, Pulwama, Shopian and Srinagar districts.
Mughal emperor Jahangir called it "Paradise on Earth."
