Things to do in Srinagar in June

1

Shikara Ride on Dal Lake at Dawn

Glide across Dal Lake at first light — floating lotus gardens, vegetable markets emerging from mist, and fishermen casting nets with the Zabarwan mountains as a backdrop. The defining Kashmir experience.

2

Gulmarg Gondola

The world's highest operating cable car rises to Apherwat Peak at 4,390m — jaw-dropping Himalayan panoramas in summer, world-class ski slopes in winter. Book tickets online to avoid queues.

3

Mughal Garden Circuit

Visit all three Mughal gardens — Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, and Chashme Shahi — in one afternoon circuit along the Dal lakefront. Best in April when 6 million tulips bloom at the Indira Gandhi Tulip Garden.

4

Houseboat Stay on Dal Lake

Spend at least one night on a traditional Kashmiri houseboat — hand-carved walnut panelling, Kashmiri carpets, and a private shikara. Book Category A or Deluxe for the full carved-wood experience.

5

Old City Walk & Jama Masjid

Navigate the wooden labyrinth of Srinagar's old city — the 600-year-old Jama Masjid with its distinctive timber columns, Sufi shrines, and artisan workshops producing Kashmiri shawls and walnut woodwork.

6

Sonamarg Day Trip

Drive 87km northeast to the "Meadow of Gold" — wildflower meadows at 2,800m with the Thajiwas Glacier accessible by short trek or pony ride. One of India's most beautiful valley drives.
