You push open a carved wooden gate in old Srinagar and the city exhales—faint smells of cardamom tea, wooden boats creak on Dal Lake, and the Pir Panjal Range keeps its silent vigil.

Hikes are generally short, guided or optional—mostly 1–4 hour walks across meadows or gentle trails; moderate fitness is sufficient.
Houseboats are wooden, often with shared or private rooms, offering calm lakefront evenings and breakfasts served onboard; amenities vary by category.
