The Road to Kashmir

Tired of the hustle and bustle of city life, come with me and we will follow the footsteps of Ashton. Our guide would be the master storyteller, M.M. Kaye and she will lead us to some of the exotic places in the East.

This book (The Far Pavilions) has captivated my imagination ever since my friend in college told me about it.

You will miss a tremendous experience if you fail to read it.

Juma Masjid, the magnificent mosque that the Emperor Shah Jahan had built. The architectural style of the Taj Mahal in Agra, India was patterned after this mosque.
