Srinagar to Russia

Nestled in the Kashmir Valley, Srinagar is the summer capital of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir that beckons travellers to this place of awe-inspiring natural beauty. Lying on the banks of the Jhelum River, this place is widely famous for the majestic Dal Lake and its beautiful houseboats and shikaras. A tour of Srinagar gives tourists a spellbinding collection cultural wonders to explore. The sacred Hazratbal Shrine, the Shankaracharya Temple, Roza Bal Shrine and Jama Masjid- one of the oldest mosques of the region, are some of the most important religious sites that tourists must visit during their Srinagar tour. One of the major highlights of the city is Pari Mahal- a beautiful historical monument that is located above the Chashma Shahi Gardens and known for its architectural brilliance. Sri Pratap Singh Museum, earlier the summer palace of the rulers of Kashmir, currently holds a rare collection of artefacts related to the history of this place. It is difficult to imagine a trip to Srinagar without a stay in one of the luxurious houseboats gracefully floating on the waters of Dal Lake, which shimmers against the beautiful backdrop of snow-swathed Himalayan peaks. If there is a paradise on earth, it truly is this place. Tourists can pick one of the many exciting travel packages from MakeMyTrip to enjoy a memorable vacation in Srinagar.
