Livioflores rsearcher thanks for your above answer but you have
provided above only the photos of Srinagar valley, Gulmarg valley,
Phalagam valley, Sonamarg valley so therefore I also want to know if
the photos of "central valley region" of Kashmir state is also
available in the internet then please also provide some of those
photos because the real beauty of Kashmir state exists in its central
valley region consisting of hundreds of valleys and please note that
central valley region of Kashmir state contains the "most magnificient
scenary and glittering beauty of the planet" and Livioflores

Hi shoaib!!
I am not clear about what region comprises the "central valley region"
of Kashmir state, so it would be helpful to me if you can tell me what
cities, lakes, mountains and/or ranges are you interested in.
According to my research indian Kashmir includes three main regions:
Kashmir Valley (Srinagar area)
Jammu (Jammu area)
Ladakh (Ladakh range, Leh area)
So my first guess was Ladakh region; to confirm if I am right please
take a look to the following map and images:
Location Map:
http://www.project-himalaya.com/graphics/kashmir-map.jpg
Ladakh map: (click on highlighted places to see a descriptions a images)

"Images of Ladakh":
http://members.ozemail.com.au/~nmclennan/
"Ladakh - Photo Gallery":

Let me know if I am in the right direction.
Thank you for your patience.

Livioflores rseasrcher in response to your above clarification please
note that I had read in a particular website of Kashmir of Pakistani
company and that Pakistani company deals "only" for the protection and
welfare of the natural environment of the whole Kashmir state so as to
preserve the natural environment of whole Kashmir state and in the
website address of that Pakistani company it was written that "Kashmir
consists of hundreds of valleys(and most of those hundreds of valleys
are located in the central valley region of Kashmir state) and those
hundreds of valleys are locked around by high mountains covered with
snow and it was written in that website that the beauty of those
hundreds of valleys or Kashmir state FAR EXCEEDS THE EXPECTATIONS of
any person and everything that has been written by any Man to praise
the beauty of Kashmir state is 'smaller' compared to the beauty of
Kashmir state OR in other words the beauty of Kashmir state is beyond
the imagination of any person but I want to mention that I have
"forgotten" the website address of the above mentioned Pakistani
company so therefore Livioflores researcher please do some research
and provide to me the website address of the above mentioned Pakistani
company so that I should be able to provide to you the answer of my
above mentioned clarification and Livioflores researcher great thanks
for that help from Shoaib and I am looking forward to hearing from you
for above purpose.

Hi again shoaib!!
Well, I did the additional research requested by you and found only
one page that matches with your descriptions, the page is from a
claimed "non-political environmental organization dedicated to the
protection and preservation of the Himalayan region of the formerly
independent state of Jammu & Kashmir (generally referred to as
"Kashmir"), which is currently divided and disputed between India,
Pakistan, and China."
This organization is not "pakistani" but they appear to be
pro-independentist (I could be wrong on this) so they could be
considered by indians as pro-pakistanis.
The name of the organization is K.E.W.A. or the Kashmir Environmental
Watch Association:
http://www.kewa.org
Here are some words from them about Kashmir:
"The mission of K.E.W.A. is primarily two-fold. First, to increase
awareness of the environment by serving as a watch organization over
the conditions of the environment of Jammu & Kashmir. Second, to take
action to preserve and protect the environment by working as a
catalyst for an indigenous environmental movement.
K.E.W.A. is dedicated to the preservation and protection of all
aspects of the environment of Jammu & Kashmir ..."
"Intro to KEWA":
http://www.kewa.org/intro.html
"Consisting of hundreds of picturesque valleys connected by high
mountain passes and the rivers and streams which have carved out these
valleys, Jammu & Kashmir lies surrounded by a series of mountain
ranges. Jammu & Kashmir is the meeting place of the Himalayan,
Karakoram, Ladakh, Hindu Kush, and Pir Panjal mountain ranges.
...
Since ancient times Jammu & Kashmir has been renowned for its natural
beauty and gentle people. Possessing some of the highest and most
beautiful mountain peaks, massive glaciers, blue lakes, rivers,
forests, and meadows, Jammu and Kashmir has been likened to a paradise
on earth. For thousands of years, this beautiful land with its unique
Eco-systems, has been home to a diverse wildlife.
From the classical Persian and Tibetan poets to the rock lyrics of Led
Zepellin, Jammu & Kashmir's startling beauty has been celebrated by
artists and writers the world over.
But Jammu & Kashmir far exceeds the expectations and nothing that has
been said about it quite prepares one for the majesty of this mountain
paradise ..."
From "Jammu & Kashmir: where Heaven meets Earth":
You will find very nice small pictures here.
http://www.kewa.org/heaven.html
Unfortunately some of the links of the site are dead links of old and
now unavailable pages. To see some of them you need to use the
WayBackMachine but the images are mostly missed; for example I used
this tool to see the "Announcement of formation of Kashmir
Environmental Watch Association (KEWA)" press release on April 10,
1998:
http://web.archive.org/web/20010425141110/http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Canopy/3572/p2.html
If you find a dead link and want to see if the page is archived, just
go to "Internet Archive: Wayback Machine":
http://www.archive.org/web/web.php
You need to type the link address in the Wayback Machine search box
and click the "Take me Back" button.
I hope you can enjoy the pictures and readings of this site.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for providing the above mentioned website address
in response to my above clarification and Livioflores researcher
please note that you have yourself provided all of the answer in your
above clarification in response to my above clarification and
Livioflores researcher I also want to mention that following
information is also provided at its following website address of :
http://www.kewa.org/heaven.html
that "Jammu & Kashmir (commonly referred to as "Kashmir") is situated
in one of the most captivating and tumultuous geographical regions of
the world. Jammu & Kashmir is centrally located between Pakistan,
India, Tibet, China, and Afghanistan",
so therefore Livioflores researcher it means that ALL of my above
mentioned information about beauty of Kashmir was absolutely right
that "Kashmir
consists of hundreds of valleys(and most of those hundreds of valleys
are located in the central valley region of Kashmir state) and those
hundreds of valleys are locked around by high mountains covered with

AND
I also want to mention that I had also read in another website address that
"central valley region of Kashmir state contains the most magnificient

to you that website address for confirmation of my above information

Livioflores reearcher you have also provided above the information about
"Internet Archive: Wayback Machine":
http://www.archive.org/web/web.php
You need to type the link address in the Wayback Machine search box
and click the "Take me Back" button",
so therefore Livioflores researcher I want to know that if I type the
website address of any "previous actively working website
address(please note that website is now not working actively in the
internet)" in the internet archive wayback machine search box and
then I click "take me back button" in it then I want to know that I
shall ALSO be able to see the 'MEMBERS AREA PHOTOS' of that previous
actively working website OR I would have to AGAIN PURCHASE the the
membership of the "HOST SERVER" of that previous actively working
website for example Netverifier Inc company provides the "HOSTING
SERVICE" of any website in its "members area" so that paid customers
can see the photos of any of its website in its members area so
therefore I want to mention that if I purchase the membership of the
above mentioned Netverifier Inc company to see the 'MEMBERS AREA
PHOTOS' of that previous actively working website "THROUGH" :
"Internet Archive: Wayback Machine":
http://www.archive.org/web/web.php
then in this case I shall be able to view or see the 'ALL MEMBERS

Hi!!
This last request is out of the scope of the original question but I
will try to answer it.
In general the answer of this is not always. The WayBackMachine has
its limitations, you can read about them on its FAQ page:
http://www.archive.org/about/faqs.php#The_Wayback_Machine
"Why isn't the site I'm looking for in the archive?
Some sites may not be included because the automated crawlers were
unaware of their existence at the time of the crawl. It's also
possible that some sites were not archived because they were password
protected, blocked by robots.txt, or otherwise inaccessible to our
automated systems. Siteowners might have also requested that their
sites be excluded from the Wayback Machine. When this has occurred,
you will see a "blocked site error" message. When a site is excluded
because of robots.txt you will see a "robots.txt query exclusion
error" message."
"How do you archive dynamic pages?
There are many different kinds of dynamic pages, some of which are
easily stored in an archive and some of which fall apart completely.
When a dynamic page renders standard html, the archive works
beautifully. When a dynamic page contains forms, JavaScript, or other
elements that require interaction with the originating host, the
archive will not contain the original site's functionality."
"Why are some sites harder to archive than others?
If you look at our collection of archived sites, you will find some
broken pages, missing graphics, and some sites that aren't archived at
all. Here are some things that make it difficult to archive a web
site:
Robots.txt -- We respect robot exclusion headers.
Javascript -- Javascript elements are often hard to archive, but
especially if they generate links without having the full name in the
page. Plus, if javascript needs to contact the originating server in
order to work, it will fail when archived.
Server side image maps -- Like any functionality on the web, if it
needs to contact the originating server in order to work, it will fail
when archived.
Unknown sites -- The archive contains crawls of the Web completed by
Alexa Internet. If Alexa doesn't know about your site, it won't be
archived. Use the Alexa Toolbar (available at www.alexa.com), and it
will know about your page. Or you can visit Alexa's Archive Your Site
page at http://pages.alexa.com/help/webmasters/index.html#crawl_site.
Orphan pages -- If there are no links to your pages, the robot won't
find it (the robots don't enter queries in search boxes.)
As a general rule of thumb, simple html is the easiest to archive."
"Do you collect all the sites on the Web?
No, we collect only publicly accessible Web pages. We do not archive
pages that require a password to access, pages tagged for "robot
exclusion" by their owners, pages that are only accessible when a
person types into and sends a form, or pages on secure servers. If a
site owner properly requests removal of a Web site through
http://www.archive.org/about/exclude.php, we will exclude that site
from the Wayback Machine."
Note that in many cases the archived page misses the images and
download links, and in other cases some of its functionalities also.
The best way to get an answer in your particular case is searching the
archive for the page you want to see and see what happens.
Hope this helps.

Hi shoaib!!
The way you can navigate a page in the WayBackMachine is mostly a
matter of luck, you can or cannot gain access to some or other areas
of archived sites, this depends on how the bot crawled that site; the
most common situation, for former password protected areas, is that
you cannot gain access into them as the FAQs page says. Let me say you
again that the only way to prove that is by trying to get access to
such pages throug the WayBackMachine. My guess is that you cannot, my
suggestion: try.
Regarding Kashmir, you are right; this is one of the most beautiful
places on the world due the variety of different landscapes and the
exuberant manifestation of the Earth forces showed by magnificient
valleys, mountains, glaciers and lakes.
You will find one more confirmation on the following article:

Hi!!
This is a free service that works in an automated fashion, that is you
cannot submit a site directly, to include a site in the archive read
the following at the FAQs' page:
"How can I get my site included in the Wayback Machine?
Alexa Internet has been crawling the web since 1996, which has
resulted in a massive archive. If you have a web site, and you would
like to ensure that it is saved for posterity in the Internet Archive,
and you've searched wayback and found no results, you can visit the
Alexa's "Webmasters" page at
http://pages.alexa.com/help/webmasters/index.html#crawl_site.
-Method 2: if you have the Alexa tool bar installed, just visit a site.
-Method 3: while visiting a site, use the 'show related links' in
Internet Explorer, which uses the Alexa service.
Sites are usually crawled within 24 hours and no more than 48. Right
now there is a 6-12 month lag between the date a site is crawled and
the date it appears in the Wayback Machine. "

loan brokerage company has placed its website in the internet archive
way back machine and that loan brokerage company has also been
"updating" its website regularly after placing its website in the

Your statement is not necessarily true. Remember that there is an
average delay of about six months from the time a page is crawled to
the time the page is available on the archive. You can only deduce
that the site owner was active at the last crawl time (the last update
time shown in its archive page).
To confirm if the company is still operating just search for its last
update contact details archived page and try to contact them this way.
