Looking for amazing places to visit in Kashmir? We can't get over how many travelers overlook the awesome Martand Sun Temple! Constructed several centuries ago in the 8th century, this massive stone temple is constructed on a plateau and offers a stunning view of the Kashmir Valley.
While we walked over the ruins, we were impressed by the gigantic pillars and the clever design that enables sunlight to reach the central shrine so beautifully. Even though it is partly destroyed, it still illustrates how competent the ancient craftsmen were.
Martand Sun Temple is a highlight among Kashmir's popular lakes and gardens as a historical site. It is an easy day trip if you are residing in Srinagar.
