Srinagar- capital of Jammu and Kashmir is one of the most beautiful cities in India.

Situated on Dal Lake and the Jhelum river, Srinagar is base for any holiday in Kashmir Valley and also the starting point for trips to Ladakh.

Srinagar is famous for lakes and the houseboats floating on them. Three lakes grace the city of Srinagar, including the world famous Dal Lake. These three lakes are separated by ‘dyker’ or ‘floating gardens’ and at times it is hard to tell where lakes ends and land begins.

On the lake there are houses that are firmly attached to the bottom. Most of the houseboats in Srinagar stands at the southern end of the lake, although you will also find them on the Jhelum river and on the Nagin Lake. Apart from lakes and houseboats, Srinagar is also known for traditional handicrafts and dry fruits.
