Srinagar is the largest city and the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir. It lies on the banks of Jhelum river and Dal and Anchar lakes. The city is famous for its gardens, waterfronts and Houseboats. It is also known for traditional Kashmiri handicrafts and dried fruits.

The capital city Srinagar is the prized possession of the Vale of Kashmir. The canopied Shikara boats, plush houseboats, snow-capped mountains and the sparkling water of Dal and Nageen Lake come together to bring the picture of authentic Srinagar come alive. The blessing of Prophet Mohammad from Hazratbal Shrine and Jama Masjid, the divinity of Shankarcharya temple, glimpse of floating vegetable market and the bountiful flora and fauna, all honour the capital city with a title of Paradise on Earth. Srinagar also renders great options for activities like bird watching (Dachigam Wildlife Sanctuary), water skiing (Dal Lake, Nagin Lake and Bod-dal), golfing (Kashmir Golf Course), trekking (towards Pir Panjal, 89 kms from Srinagar) and boating  and thus makes holidays in Jammu & Kashmir a successful expedition.

Best time to visit is from March to October.
