About Srinagar

Srinagar is built around water: shikaras crossing Dal Lake at dawn, houseboats with carved walnut interiors, and the Mughal gardens stepping up the hillside behind. Beyond the city, Gulmarg has one of the world's highest cable cars and a long ski season, Pahalgam sits where two rivers meet under pine forest, and Sonmarg opens towards the glaciers. Check current travel advisories before you book.
