Kashmir, in the northernmost part of India, is mainly a mountainous region. Now, where it is a region with rivers, valleys, and mountains around, that region was a lake in history. Geologists say, in ancient times, the lake drained to the gap of Baramulla(Varahamula). Baramulla is the city located on the banks of the river Jhelum. Kashmir is a place that has lush green vegetation and dense tropical forests.
