The main museum of Kashmir is the Sri Pratap Singh Museum. Once the summer palace of the Maharajas of Kashmir, it was later converted into a museum in the year 1898. A major portion of the museum collection, at that point of time, consisted of objects from the Jammu and Kashmir toshkhana. The toshkhana collection of this museum of Kashmir, India includes shawls, paintings, arms and armory, silver images, copper and jade ornaments, copper and brass utensils and Ladkhi handicrafts. Sri Pratap Singh Museum of Kashmir displays an assortment of more than 200 textiles. The renowned jamawar, spreads, gabbas and rumals, dating back to the Afghan period, from 1752 to 1947, form a part of the textiles collection. One of the most brilliant pieces of the museum collection is a map of Srinagar in needlework, prepared during reign of maharaja Ranjil Singh. Later, it was presented as gift to the Prince of Wales when he visited Kashmir. In the later years, this map was auctioned in England from where it found its way back to Kashmir. The map depicts topography of Srinagar as it was at that point of time, showing the important buildings, mosques, temples, gardens, rivers, bridges and lakes. The museum also has a rich collection of archaeological stuff excavated from the Pandrethan, Parashpura and Avantipura sites. The collection of the excavated items includes pottery, terracotta tiles, metal artifacts and stone objects. These objects date back to different time periods, ranging from the 2nd to 12th century AD. Also on display are life-size statues of the Lord Buddha, Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma, in a chronological order. Sharda, Persian and Arabic stone inscriptions, 2nd century terracotta tiles from Hoinar (Pahalgam) and 3rd century Harwan tiles are the other items on display inside the museum.

    We were group 22 female group. Traveled Kashmir with Krishtrip. Their main strength were lowest price, as we were ladies so we all tried to find out a tour operator with lowest rate from Srinagar tour operators to Pune tour operators. So you can understand what was the scenario:)). 2nd thing we paid our advance amount directly to hotel so no problem for trust or hotel change. Earlier we had a bad experience in Manali, travel agent changed our hotel in last minute. Transaction process with Krishtrip was very very transparent. We afraid about service but they welcomed us at Srinagar airport from there everything was smooth and nice. Our lady guide provided by Krishtrip was amazing. She taken care of everything, every moment. We used to get call from Krishtrip regular basis. Starting from hotel to vehicle condition and our driver all were very fantastic. We enjoyed a lot. This year ending we are planning to Kerala, we will definitely go through Krishtrip. Amazing company, amazing team, am ...more

    I had a tour package through country travel for 11 days( Ladakh, Kargil and Srinagar) in May 2022. The overall tour experience was good, Especially the interaction of the Mr Renu and Mr Rachna madam was excellent. Their dealing was very polite and had Intime involvement before and during tour I recommend others to consider Country travel as a choice for their tour package .it is a reliable agency One of my suggestion to country travel is that , when providing accommodation in hotel , make sure that , hotel can provide food of the customer taste. In ladak hotel ,the food provided was not that much suited for south people . In Srinagar and pangong accommodation food was good ...more
