Srinagar Arrival & Local Sightseeing

Welcome to Kashmir – Dal Lake, Mughal Gardens & Shikara Experience

About Srinagar Arrival & Local Sightseeing

On arrival at Srinagar Airport, our representative/driver will welcome you and assist with your transfer to the hotel or houseboat.

Depending on your arrival time, begin exploring Srinagar with a visit to the beautiful Mughal Gardens, including Nishat Garden, Shalimar Garden and Chashme Shahi, set against the magnificent Zabarwan Mountains overlooking Dal Lake.

Later, enjoy a relaxing Shikara ride on Dal Lake, one of Kashmir’s most iconic experiences. Glide past traditional houseboats, floating gardens and colourful markets while enjoying beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.

If time permits, additional attractions such as Pari Mahal, Shankaracharya Temple, Hazratbal Shrine, Lal Chowk or Polo View Market may also be covered.

After sightseeing, return to your hotel/houseboat and relax after your first memorable day in Kashmir.
