The Kashmir valley is famous for its beautiful mountainous landscape and is a land of immense natural beauty. It is also called ‘Paradise on earth’. The most magnificent of the Kashmir trees is the Chinar found throughout the valley. Mountain ranges in the Valley have dense deodar, pine and fir. Walnut, willow, almond and cider also add to the rich flora of Kashmir. The literal meaning of Himachal Pradesh is Region of snowy mountains. Hima means snow in Sanskrit. The economy of the state is highly dependent on three sources: hydroelectric power, tourism and agriculture. Himachal is also said to be the fruit bowl of the country with orchards scattered all over the place. In the two states of India, different tribes exist that have been studied little. This is an earnest attempt to describe the different tribes and their culture and practices.
