What to do and see in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites

January 30, 2022 Leonarda Pillsbury

Srinigar is a modern waterworld, dominated by Dal Lake and its twisting waterways, tree-lined Nagin Lake, and the Jhelum River. Engulf yourself in local culture by embracing your sea legs and renting one of the wooden boats called shikaras for a daytime or twilight cruise. On land, stroll through the terraced hillsides of the 400-year-old Mughal Gardens, created by Emperor Jehangir for his wife, and shop for indigenous crafts like hand-woven silks and embroidered shawls.

Jama Masjid Mosque

Reviewed By linaadalgar - Bern, Switzerland

It's a very large mosque in the old city of Srinagar it has many wooden beams which looks quite good it is also quite historical. Architecturally unique, this monument has spires instead of domes and minarets. Interestingly, each of the 350 pillars of Jama Masjid is made from a single deodar trunk.
