You may have heard it in some of the most romantic songs, and that’s where it belongs. This lake’s beauty is both stunning and easy to remember. This beautiful lake is the heart of Srinagar, which is why it is called the Jewel of Srinagar. As you ride through the lake in a real Shikhara, you are mesmerised by its beauty, and the proud Himalayan mountain range opens its arms to you. Out of all the things you can do in Srinagar, this is the one you can’t miss.

If you plan to visit Srinagar in the winter, you will be blown away by the frozen lake and the snow-covered mountains.

The Mughal Gardens were built and designed during the Mughal Empire, as the name suggests. The Mughal era was known for its Persian architecture, which is why some of India’s oldest buildings show signs of their culture. With a lot of open space and lots of greenery, these gardens are a great place to spend some quiet time alone. If you’re lucky and the flowers are in bloom, the whole garden will smell amazing, which is good for everyone.

The Tulip Garden is the biggest garden in all of Asia. It covers 30 acres. You can see many lines of different kinds of tulips in every colour. As you breathe in the scent of these tulips, the Zabarwan Hills welcome you with their beautiful range. If the Tulip Garden isn’t on your list of places to see in Srinagar, it’s definitely missing.

Between February and April, tulips bloom.

The Jamia Masjid is a mosque that has been there for 600 years and is in the middle of Srinagar-Nowhatta. We can’t talk about things to do in Srinagar without mentioning this wonderful Masjid. The old mosque was built in a place that has a lot of history and has seen a lot of important events. The walls of these Masjid tell stories of great heroes in our history and hide many secrets. It praises the political uprisings in Kashmir, but it is also one of the quietest places in Srinagar. The Jamia Masjid is a popular place for tourists to visit because it has everything you’d expect from an old building and more.

Eat like a local! 

Srinagar is beautiful in many ways, and food is one of the most important. Their food is rich, different, and important enough that they have made a food culture around it. Kebabs, curries, and breads all leave a taste in your mouth that you’ll be looking for for the rest of your life. It would be wrong to talk about the food and culture of Kashmir without mentioning the tea. Their Kahwa is famous all over the world, we all love their Pink tea, and the Butter Tea? So, we just can’t get enough of it.
