Download and read online ebook The Vale of Kashmir write by John Isaac. This book was released on 2008-10-14. The Vale of Kashmir available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "Charmed by the generous people and exquisite beauty of Kashmir, celebrated photographer John Isaac set out to honor this enchanting land that is unknown to so many. The 160 photographs in The Vale of Kashmir present the people and landscape of this remote and exotic region and the unique way of life that has developed on Dal Lake." "Nestled in the lush area where India, China, and Pakistan meet, the Vale of Kashmir is a vast garden dotted with lakes, marshes, orchards, and terraced fields, surrounded by the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas. Isaac's spectacular photographs show us canals crowded with houseboats, floating gardens on Dal Lake, and the ancient city of Srinagar. The varied details of daily life-the harvesting of saffron, Hindu pilgrimages through the mountains, shepherds on the Himalayan slopes, and prayers at the mosque-come alive in these pages." "In addition to capturing the breathtaking natural beauty of the Vale, Isaac also honors the private realm of family life in Kashmir, with images of the merchants, farmers, weavers, and fishermen who live on the lake. Though renowned for its abundance of superb handicrafts, including carpets, shawls, silks, woodwork, and papier-mache boxes, Kashmir and its people are largely uncelebrated; Isaac's tender portraits honor these hard-working families. This arresting view of the land and Kashmiri people is put into a historical and geographical context by author Art Davidson's insightful and sensitive introduction."--BOOK JACKET.

How Green was the Vale of Kashmir available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Kashmir, the ultimate tourist destination that attracts millions of adventurers and tourists from all across the world for more than a century, is much more than the well-beaten destinations like Dal Lake, Mughal Gardens, Gulmarg and Pahalgam. The uniqueness of the valley can only be fully appreciated if its mountains, lakes, temperate and alpine forests and its wildlife, which give the valley a special status, are considered in totality with interdependence between one another. This beautifully illustrated book written in real-life storytelling style will captivate the reader as it chronicles a journey spanning at least seven decades in the life of the Valley of Kashmir and its priceless natural bounty. A special feature of the book is that it introduces the reader to the diverse natural wonders of Kashmir with authoritative data and information with relevant colour photographs featuring Kashmir’s: § High-altitude lakes, § Alpine forests and environment, § Wildlife and migratory birds, § Snow-fed streams and trout, § And horticultural produce, to name a few. Ten well-researched chapters on the above topics, including Kashmir’s saffron, capital city Srinagar and its changing scenario and the valley’s agriculture scene with authentic data, shows that the Kashmir of today and 70 years ago are two worlds apart.
