Srinagar Vacation Guide
The Kashmir valley sprawls scenically at 1730 meters above sea-level between two majestic mountain ranges; the Great Himalayan Range to the south and the Pir Panjal Range to the north. Srinagar is located in the heart of the valley, spread on both sides of the Jhelum River. Dal and Nagin Lakes are most famous for the more than one thousand houseboats which line their shores. Those floating accommodations range from low-budget to luxurious.
The Old City section of Srinagar maintains a rich, ancient character and history with red-brick buildings, mosques and shrines with pagoda-style roofs, and bustling bazaars filled with a wide variety of unique Kashmiri handicrafts. Rows of doongas flank the river. Those boats with their shingled roofs are the forerunner of the larger houseboats.
Indian Airlines and Jet Airways each offer daily flights from Delhi, Mumbai, and Jammu. As of May 2007, the two-lane road from Jammu also re-opened. Any travels through India would not be complete without a visit to this magnificent valley which the Moguls aptly called 'Paradise on Earth'.

Random storms can pick up in Kashmir in a matter of minutes. They last for a few hours, can drop the temperature rapidly, cause power cuts and make travelling off Dal Lake impossible with high winds. They never last very long, and are nearly always accompanied with thunder, lightning and a downpour…

Srinagar was an interesting experience. the army guy who looked super angry tried to get me to go back on the plane before i even set foot on kashmiri concrete. he was like shouting at the stewardess in unknown language and pointing at me - probably something along the lines of "get this white girl…
