Lyric discussion by bonzos4sticks 

I am shamed by how many ignorant and puerile comments on these pages.

FACTS:

  1. Kashmir is NOT in Africa, it is in India, North-West to be exact.

  2. It is NOT a town or city, it is a region or more correctly, a state. Officially 'Jammu and Kashmir', the capital is Srinagar.

  3. Ownership of the area has been in dispute between India & Pakistan since the end of British rule in 1947. (Independance)

  4. It IS near the Himalayas which are mostly in China, Nepal, Bhutan and partly in India. The region is mostly mountainous, The Zaskar Mountains and Panjal Range as well as part of the Ladakh Range and Karakoram Range to the North.

  5. Kashmir is also a type of fine wool that obviously comes from the sheep that are in the region.

  6. Kashmir was originally titled "Driving to Kashmir"

  7. It was written while on the road from Goulimine to Tantan in south Morocco (Spanish Sahara).

  8. The inspiration for the lyrics came from the fact that the road went on and on with sandrock ridges two miles to the east and west of the road.

  9. It is one of Plant's favourites together with 'In The Light'

  10. The surviving members all consider Kashmir to be the quitessential Led Zeppelin.
