About Srinagar

Why travellers keep returning here

The summer capital of Kashmir and the heart of any valley journey. Srinagar is built around water — the calm of Dal and Nigeen lakes, shaded by willow and the Zabarwan hills, where shikaras glide past floating gardens and centuries-old houseboats line the shore.
