At 1,585 m on the banks of the Jhelum River, Srinagar is the summer capital of Jammu & Kashmir and one of the most beautiful city-lake combinations in the world. Floating markets at dawn, centuries-old wooden mosques, Mughal gardens in full bloom, and the ever-present backdrop of snow-capped mountains — Srinagar is where Kashmir’s soul lives.
It’s not just a city; it’s an experience. Wake up to the call of the muezzin echoing across Dal Lake, watch the sunrise paint the Hari Parbat fort golden, and spend your evenings drifting in a shikara through water-lily lanes — this is Srinagar at its magical best.
The icon of Kashmir. Floating vegetable markets at dawn, meandering through narrow channels of Char Chinar, Meena Bazaar, and lotus gardens.
400-year-old wooden mosque in the heart of Downtown Srinagar. Wander through narrow lanes of spice markets and centuries-old shrines.
Ancient hilltop temple (2nd century BC) with panoramic 360° views of the city and lake.
Quieter, cleaner, and more local than Dal. Perfect for relaxed houseboat stays and morning walks.
The holiest Muslim shrine in Kashmir, said to house a relic of Prophet Muhammad. Stunning white marble on the western shore of Dal.
2-km stretch along Dal Lake lined with cafés, ice-cream parlours, and souvenir shops.
Srinagar is more than a destination — it’s an emotion. Whether you spend three days or three weeks, the city will wrap itself around your heart and never quite let go.
Pro tip: Stay at least one night on a houseboat and one night on dry land (Boulevard or Rajbagh) to experience both sides of Srinagar’s magic.
