Srinagar is the summer capital
of the state of Jammu and Kashmir and is the pride of the beautiful
valley of Kashmir. Srinagar famous for its lakes, gardens and the
charming rows of houseboats floating on them is also called haven on
earth. It is also known for traditional Kashmiri handicrafts,
kashmiri clothes and dry fruits. When The Mughal emperor Jahangir
visited the valley of Kashmir he was so enthralled by the beauty of
this valley that he suddenly exclaimed "Gar firdaus, ruhe zamin
ast, hamin asto, hamin asto, hamin asto" (If there is a heaven
on earth, it's here, it's here, it's here). And if the visitors are
coming here for the first time then they just can't deny what the
emperor said.
The Dal Lake of Srinagar is an
important tourist attraction and is located on the eastern end of
the city. The Dal Lake comprises of a series of lakes of variable
lengths, including the Nagin Lake that is some 8 km from the city
center. One can enjoy the panoramic view of the mountains
surrounding Srinagar from this lake. Travelers can enjoy taking a
ride on traditional Kashmiri boats or the Shikaras to explore the
intricate maze of waterways of this lake.
