Srinagar, the summer capital of Kashmir is not just another hill station in India but is heaven. The temptation of this fabled hill station had allured me to book Srinagar Tour Packages for a visit. The images of breathtaking landscapes, pleasant weather had me pack my bags and embark on a hilly vacation last summers. In Srinagar I had experienced the beauty of paradise with azure waters that are crystal clear mirrors, pure white snow capped peaks of Himalayas and activities that have created memories to cherish forever.
      





I started with a visit to Dal Lake. A true delight you have to visit to believe it. Though there is lots of scope for making the place better Dal Lake is still one of the most visited places which complete your Srinagar holiday. The picturesque setting draws all kinds of people; from the honeymooners to the family vacationers. Other than boating, a few new-age sports are cropping up. Try to visit during sunrise or sunset to experience true beauty. You should definitely try the shikara ride and a houseboat stay. 
                                          

Next I paid a visit to the Shalimar Bagh. The fabled Mughal garden is a beauty of architecture. You need to photograph the pleasant blossoms. Nishat Bagh and Chashme Shahi are also worth a visit.

                                         
The tourist attractions are also worth visiting. Start with the Hazratbal Shrine then Shankacharya Temple. Pari Mahal & Hari Parbat is also worth checking out.
A tour of the markets is also needed. The drink of a Kahwa and the feel of a Pashmina Shawl make your trip complete.
When you are in Srinagar you should definitely explore the neighboring towns of Sonmarg, Gulmarg and Pahalgam. These tourists’ delights are known for adventures such as zorbing, horse riding and paragliding. There are resorts to ski, golf or relax. You should go for the exhilarating Gondola ride.
