Blossoming almond flowers of Jammu and Kashmir

If there be a Paradise on the Earth, it is this, it is this, it is this… Thus read one of the verses coined by Firdaus, a poet in Mughal emperor Shahjahan's court. Indeed, this typical beauty of Jammu & Kashmir does become a reality at the onset of the spring season. And this enchanting scenario is attributed to the thousands of almond trees blossoming to present a surreal blanket of white and pink in the majestic mountainous landscape.
