I know no one likes to say good bye to such a wonderful place, or say Heaven on the earth. But you can’t leave there forever… So, before saying good bye to Srinagar, here are some things u must do:
1)Visit Kshirbhavani:
KshirBhawani is a nice, quiet place near Srinagar (abt 20 kms). There stands a marble temple with gold plated dome houses here amidst a pool formed by spring waters, which is believed to change its colour from time to time. (They give really nice Kheer as “prasad” on special occasion, not always)
2)Visit Lal Chowk:
This area is “famous” with Indian News Channels because of frequent terrorist attacks. It’s the main square of Srinagar, like Time Square in NYC. This area is basically shopping area & has Posh to basic shops. Shopping not worth but visit for "Thrill" of Lalchowk name!!
3)For more shopping in Srinagar, check out local handicraft shops in Dal lake… Must buy some items made from Papier-mâché (Google it for the detail regarding the word… :P). They have so many things in this art, from small “dabbis” to big flower pot…
4)Prefer to stay in House boats than in any high rated hotels, It's kinda once-in a lifetime experience… Most of the house boats give Breakfast & Dinner; they are very safe in all ways.
5)High degree of security but mostly tourist safe but don’t argue, quarrel or get in bouts and Fix rates first & be clear
6)Foodies….this one is specially for u… :)
Don’t forget to enjoy Kashmiri local food in ur house boat
Do try the CHAAT opposite Shankaryacharya gate of Dal Lake
So this was Srinagar, the way I felt… More places of India from the way I enjoyed coming Soon…
Till then Have fun…..
