The riff for the song uses a non-standard guitar tuning, influenced by Page's interest in modal tunings and Arabic and Eastern music. The song combines different rhythmic meters – the guitar riff is in triple meter, while the vocal is in quadruple meter.[3] Plant felt that the drumming was an important component of the song and that Bonham did not overplay his part.[4]
Page recorded a demo version with drummer Bonham late in 1973 when John Paul Joneswas late for the recording sessions. Plant later added lyrics and a middle section and, in early 1974, Jones added orchestration.[4][5]Page and Plant had previously travelled to Bombay in 1972 and worked with various Indian musicians, gaining production ideas from recording sessions of "Four Sticks" and "Friends". Session players were brought in for the string and horn sections for "Kashmir",[5]but Jones also used a Mellotron.[6]
The lyrics were written by Plant in 1973 immediately after Led Zeppelin's 1973 US Tour.[5] Although named after Kashmir, a region disputed by India and Pakistan, none of the group members had visited the area.[7]Instead, Plant was inspired during a drive through a desolate desert area of southern Morocco.[
