Kashmir division

Kashmir Division is an administrative region in the Kashmir Valley in northern India, spanning across ten districts. It encompasses major urban centers and also surrounds rural areas with varied terrain.

The region underwent administrative reorganization in 1968 to better organize local governance and development. This restructuring shaped the current layout of districts and their administrative centers.

Local communities maintain traditional crafts and music that you can see in markets and during celebrations. People here have their own festivals and foods that shape daily gatherings and social life.

Each district has a local administrative center where you can get information and sort out everyday matters. Accessibility varies by area since some parts are more rural than others.

The region contains Wular Lake, one of Asia's largest freshwater lakes, used by fishermen and supporting wildlife here. This lake is important for local livelihoods and also attracts migratory birds.
