A Kashmir wedding,
flying in from London.
For the British-Kashmiri families who grew up in Birmingham, Bradford, Leeds and Luton — and want the wedding back in the Valley their parents were born in. The journey is a Heathrow-to-Delhi long-haul plus a Delhi-to-Srinagar morning hop. We make the week feel worth it.
