Best Places To Visit In Kashmir

Kashmir : The Indian subcontinent’s northernmost region is known as Kashmir. Until the middle of the 19th century, only the Kashmir Valley between the Great Himalayas and the Pir Panjal Range was referred to as “Kashmir.” Today, the term covers a larger region that includes the Indian states of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, the Pakistani states of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, the Chinese states of Aksai Chin, and the Trans-Karakoram Tract.

Kashmir was annexed by Ranjit Singh’s Sikh Empire in 1820. Gulab Singh, the Raja of Jammu, became the new ruler of Kashmir in 1846, following the Sikh defeat in the First Anglo-Sikh War and the British’s purchase of the area under the Treaty of Amritsar. The standard of his relatives, under the centrality of the English Crown, went on until the Parcel of India in 1947, when the previous regal condition of the English Indian Domain turned into a contested region, presently controlled by three nations: Pakistan, India, and China
