About Shikara Ride in Srinagar

Lakes in Kashmir are ideal to float along and enjoy the beauty of nature with mighty greens towering on either side, or stretches of calm waters lying ahead. A Shikara ride in Kashmir along one of the region’s lakes is a never-to-be-forgotten experience. A Shikara is a long wooden boat that you’ll often find floating along on Kashmir’s lakes and they’re used as a form of transport as well as tourism. This rowing boat is built similar to a Gondola and many a tourist has had the rich experience of floating along the calm and placid waters of lakes such as the Dal and passing through some of the region’s most noted spots such as the Nishat and Shalimar Gardens, as well as the Hazratbal Mosque.

Enjoying A Shikara Ride In Kashmir

Apart from leisure, Shikara rides in Kashmir are also used for transportation, fishing and seaweed harvesting by the locals. There are tons of handicrafts and flowers that are sold on these boats and if you’re planning a ride on one, try out the floating market. Floating calmly in a Shikara, you’ll also be able to enjoy watching birds such as pariah kites and the white breasted kingfisher.

Spots To Enjoy A Shikara Ride In Kashmir

The Dal and Nigeen lakes primarily make this ride worthwhile as one can relax. Wular lake is another popular spot among locals. From the calmness and serenity of shikara rides in Kashmir, down to the adventure of paragliding and parasailing, there are many ways to enjoy the rewards of nature. Combine all of this with the most breathtaking views, scrumptious meals and the warm hospitality of the locals even on the coldest days of winter, and you will enjoy a holiday that is hard to forget in this lifetime. A visit to Kashmir and a calm shikara ride will do much to ease the stress of daily life.

Priyanka Gupta

Delhi

Priyanka's 4 days trip to Srinagar

Overall experience was good. At Pehalgam we stayed at The Villagio as the one was chosen by us it was the best hotel. The hotel at Srinagar was Golden Sands which lacked good breakfast, dont forget to carry Shower gel, tooth brush etc. and warm clothes as they only provide a soap and Shampoo pouch a

nd heater only from 7 to 10 and few hours in morning otherwise u have to manage with blankets. The driver Nasir was good in nature, apart from few hicups all was great and accomodating reporting to his boss every small thing .. our Tour guide Ms. Rida was always supportive, guiding us and always atttentive to our cause, even on sunday and one day where she needed to intensively communicate with transporter. We are satisfied with the response time and the services. However she did nt fulfill her promise of complimentary honeymoon package (Just a cake though) may be due to christmas eve. All together a good trip. thanks to travel triangle for the services. Gulmarg Gandola Shikara Ride, Dal Lake Snowful Betaab Valley Aru Valley Shankracharya Temple

Rahul Soni

Rahul's 11 days trip to Srinagar

The trip was good and overall it was a pleasant experience. Except for the cab driver who was not cooperative and didn't inform us about the locations and the local cab pricing. The people in Kashmir are sweet-spoken but, they do charge exorbitantly for every service/product and, you need to be good

enough to bargain as the price quotes were almost 10x more than reasonable. The RoadToTrip agent - Pankaj Giri was very helpful and available when needed but, contacting him at every location was not feasible. The hotel and cab arrangements were well-managed.
