Gliding gently over the calm, mirror-like waters surrounded by the majestic Zabarwan mountains, this traditional wooden boat ride offers a glimpse into the soul of Srinagar. As you sit back and relax on the cushioned seats, you’ll pass floating gardens, charming houseboats, and vibrant markets right on the water. The crisp mountain air, the reflection of the sky in the lake, and the soothing rhythm of the oar create a peaceful escape unlike any other. Whether you’re with family, friends, or a loved one, a Shikara ride at Dal Lake is a must-do experience that leaves you with memories of beauty, tranquility, and timeless charm.
