The northern region is a magical canvas that encompasses the dramatic landscapes of the far north in Ladakh - trekker's delight; the high Himalayas rolling down to the beautiful forests of Srinagar in Kashmir, and into the states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand ; the lush, fertile and seemingly unending Indo-Gangetic plains etched and fed by the largest rivers, most starting at the glaciers and Himalayan heights and then spreading down and finally submerging in to the Bays. North Indians have uncontrollable zest for life that reflects in the folk art and dance - the famous Bhangra from Punjab for instance; in the rich and irresistible cuisines that have spread through restaurants across the world; in the dress, the music, the faiths; the fashion and the trends.
