A shikara boat ride on Dal Lake at dawn โ before the flower sellers, tourists, and vegetable markets emerge โ is one of the most serene experiences in India. The Mughal gardens (Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, Chashme Shahi) were designed by Mughal emperors as their paradise on earth and are best at sunrise before the coach tours arrive. Gulmarg (2,650m) is 50 km from Srinagar and runs the highest gondola in the world โ in winter, the snow quality rivals the Alps.
Cycling is the dominant mode of transport โ stay out of bike lanes. Almost everyone speaks English.
