Takzvané Kašmírske údolie je svet sám pre seba, oddelený od ostatných kultúr hradbou hôr a nepreniknuteľnou hranicou s Pakistanom. Typickými obrazmi z Kašmíru sú zelené horské pastviny, za ktorými sa týčia zasnežené vrcholy, alebo zdobené drevené hausbóty hlavného mesta Šrínagar, plávajúce na horskom jazere.
