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.
