As winter sets in Kashmir, the beauty and serenity of the valley is adorned with red and golden hues as the majestic Chinars shed their leaves, longing for a spring that will return after some snowy and cold months.

The famed Mughal Gardens of Kashmir have become even more beautiful with people, including a handful of tourists, visiting them to see the beauty of the changing seasons.
