Jammu and Kashmir is state of India. It has two capital cities - Jammu (in winter) and Srinagar (in summer). Are there any other regions, states or provinces in the world countries, which have two different capitals?

The only other place I know which has both a summer and a winter capital is Bhutan: Punakha in summer, Thimphu in winter. http://www.pbase.com/sgitlin/image/91718101&gcmd=add_comment If you count dependent territories: Montserrat also have two capitals. Plymouth is the official capital, but it was destroyed by a volcano. So de facto capital is Brades. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montserrat Jan 19 09, 5:34 PM
