Major Attractions in Srinagar

Dal Lake
Hemmed by lush green Himalayas, the serene waters of Dal are the mirror to the mountains. Spend a couple of days in the traditional Kashmiri houseboats, ride the exquisitely carved Shikaras, float by the majestic Char Chinars in the middle of the lake and don?t miss the early morning floating market- Dal Lake has many surprises tucked in its depth!

Mughal Gardens of Srinagar
Shalimar, Nishant and Chashm-e-Shahi gardens constitute the Mughal Gardens of Srinagar. Built on the banks of River Jhelum with Zabarwani Mountains in the backdrop, these 17th century gardens are the pride of Srinagar. Spectacular Persian-styled landscaping, exquisite Mughal architecture and rare blooms- the gardens are a perfect frame for shutterbugs.

Shankaracharya Temple
A winding road up the Shankaracharya Hill takes you to an ancient Shiv Temple perched on the summit. Built on an octagonal base inscribed in Persian and dating back to the 5thcentury; this grey-stone temple is named after Adi Shankaracharya, a sage who visited here in 750 AD and meditated in the temple. This place is regarded as the oldest site in the Kashmir valley.

Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden
