Srinagar Sightseeing Tour

Srinagar, sometimes referred to as "Heaven on Earth," truly is the pinnacle of perfection on earth. The capital of Jammu and Kashmir, Srinagar, is as picturesque as the most beautiful painting ever created. Located on the banks of the Jhelum river, it has a cool, pleasant climate all year round, which contributes to the constant influx of tourists to this city, which offers a variety of breathtaking scenic vistas. The city's splendour is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, lush green valleys, and crystal-clear lakes. The main draws of the city are Dal Lake and Shikara rides. You will be surprised by this city's calm beauty. Another gem to this city's splendour is Shalimar Bagh. Jahangir constructed the park in 1619, and it has come to be known as Srinagar's crown. It is renowned for its lovely rows of houseboats floating on its lakes. Dry fruits and traditional Kashmiri handicrafts are also well-known.

On top of a hill close to Dal Lake sits the Sankaracharya Temple. The temple is accessible by automobile from the Dal lake at a distance of around 5.5 kilometres.

To see Lord Shiva up close from the main entrance, you must ascend another 45 stairs.

From the mountaintop, you have a complete view of Srinagar, but you are unable to take pictures because you are not permitted to bring cameras within the main temple complex. You can use your phones and cameras outside the complex, though, and when you return, you can utilise the top to capture pictures of Dal Lake.

Shalimar Bagh, the largest of all Mughal gardens, is situated on the outskirts of Srinagar. The Bagh, also known as Shalimar Garden, Shalimar Bagh, Farah Baksh, and Faiz Baksh, was constructed in 1619 for Noor Jahan, the wife of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir. The Bagh is regarded as the pinnacle of Mughal gardening. This time, it is also referred to as Srinagar's crown.
