India
Srinagar
Mughal gardens, shikara rides on Dal Lake, and carved houseboats frame Kashmir’s summer capital against the Zabarwan range.
Negotiate shikara rates clearly; early mornings reveal floating vegetable markets. Nishat and Shalimar gardens follow Persian charbagh design. Gulmarg and Pahalgam are common side trips for meadows or golf. Check current travel advisories and curfew news; carry ID for checkpoints. April–October is the main tourist window; winters bring snow charm but flight delays. Buy responsibly sourced pashmina from reputable cooperatives.
