"Gar firdaus bar-rue zameen ast, hami asto, hamin asto, hamin ast."

If there is a heaven on earth, it is here, it is here, it is here.

Poet Amir Khusro's words ring especially true when you visit Kashmir in autumn. Kashmir, often called "Paradise on Earth," is where nature's beauty and charm leave visitors utterly captivated. This magical valley, known for its four distinct seasons, transforms into a mesmerising wonderland during autumn. This season, aptly named "Harud" in Kashmiri, signifying the time of harvest, blankets the region in a breathtaking red, yellow, and orange palette, crafting scenes reminiscent of a fairy tale.
