Experience Shikara ride in the Dal lake
Besides the unique experience of staying on the traditional houseboats, a relaxing ride of Shikhara getting around the Dal Lake is also a must-do you should definitely not miss out on this experience during your holidays in Jammu and Kashmir. Shikhara is a type of traditional wooden rowing boat mostly seen on lakes in Jammu and Kashmir, and also regarded as a cultural symbol of the region along with houseboats. Sitting on Shikhara and slowly admiring the scenic beauty of the pristine Dal Lake and its surroundings is one of the most fun-filled and enjoyable ways to experience these mind-blowing landscapes to the wholeness. While gliding gently on the lake, you also get opportunity to witness locals fishing, transporting, or harvesting seaweed on their Shikharas (in a more rustic & simpler type) from your boat. You are able to reach the nearby tourist attractions located at the edges while enjoying your boat excursion. With its special highlights and features, the leisure sightseeing Shikhara ride on the Dal Lake is the combination of fabulous visual feasts, serenity appreciation, and authentic daily scenes of the local life.
