About the place

The feeling of Srinagar

Srinagar is the cultural and administrative heart of Kashmir, spread along the Jhelum River and framed by the Zabarwan hills. Dal and Nigeen lakes, Mughal-era gardens, historic neighbourhoods, shrines, mosques and wooden architecture give the city a layered identity. It is also a principal base for exploring the wider Kashmir Valley.
