Shikara Ride

Gliding across the tranquil waters of Dal Lake & Nigeen Lake in a beautifully carved Shikara is an experience unlike any other — serene, poetic, and deeply tied to the soul of Kashmir. As the sun rises over the Zabarwan range, the reflection of snow-capped peaks dances on the shimmering surface of the lake, and the air carries the scent of blooming lotuses.

A Shikara Ride is not just a journey — it’s a moment suspended in time. Watch floating gardens drift by, listen to the gentle rhythm of the paddle, and witness the colors of Kashmiri life unfold around you — from floating markets and houseboats to distant mountains mirrored in the glassy waters.

Whether enjoyed in the quiet glow of dawn or the golden hues of sunset, every Shikara Ride feels like a passage into peace itself. It’s an intimate escape for couples, photographers, and dreamers who want to feel the heartbeat of Srinagar.

With Kashmir & Beyond, you don’t just ride the waters — you experience the timeless elegance and romance that have made Dal Lake the crown jewel of Kashmir.
