- Not to be confused with Kashmir Valley
Kashmir (Kashmiri: کٔشِیر / कॅशीर; Hindi: कश्मीर; Urdu: کشمیر), archaically spelled Cashmere, is in the northwestern region of South Asia. Until the mid-19th century, the term Kashmir geographically denoted only the valley between the Great Himalayas and the Pir Panjal mountain range. As of 2021, the wider region of Kashmir is disputed among Pakistan, India and China.

Like thoughts inside a dream.

Yellow desert stream.

Will return again.
Sure as the dust that floats b'hind you
When movin' through Kashmir.- Led Zeppelin: Kashmir
