A leisurely ride in a houseboat, a walk in a garden with millions of charming tulips \u201ctossing their heads in sprightly dance,\u201d and trekking along the high-altitude lakes: there are enough reasons to consider Srinagar as a worthy destination. The \u2018Venice of the East\u2019 and the summer capital of Jammu & Kashmir can surprise you with snowfall or coax you to stay longer by retaining that slight nip in the air. Even before you can completely get over its natural splendor, you find centuries-old history staring at you. The mosques, temples, and tombs also do a world of good to your experience.<\/p>\n
