Srinagar, nestled in the Kashmir Valley, is a city of houseboats, glassy lakes, cascading gardens, and Himalayan backdrop. It epitomizes the romantic and serene side of the Himalayas.
The Dal Lake, with its shikaras, floating gardens, and houseboats, remains Srinagar’s heart. Visitors drift among lotus patches, waterfront homes, and reflections of surrounding peaks. The Mughal Gardens — Shalimar, Nishat, Chashme Shahi — slope terraces downward to water, blending Persian horticultural legacy with valley panoramas.
The old city, narrow lanes, wooden facades, and bazaars full of papier-mâché, Kashmiri shawls, and spices echo local craft traditions. Sunset light across the lake and mountains softens reflections into dreamlike vistas.
With Atlas Tours, your Srinagar journey is balanced — lodging on houseboats, garden walks, local insight, and pacing to let beauty sink in. Whether your impulse is water, gardens, craft, or calm highland air, Srinagar invites you into Kashmir’s poetic heart.
