Srinagar Hotels: Stay In The Best Hotels In The Land Of Paradise

If you are standing on Srinagar, then you are standing on paradise. The comparisons may look clichéd but surely the real paradise can be no more beautiful than the summer capital of Jammu & Kashmir, a north Indian state perched on top of the mountains. Expansive lakes, shimmering gardens, colossal mountains and great Srinagar hotels make the place one of the most ideal gateway for both families and honeymooners.


Dal Lake is undoubtedly the most beautiful thing about Srinagar. Boating on this lake gives immeasurable bliss. Also, check out the Wular Lake which houses special fishes like Rosy barb, common carp, chirruh snowtrout and mosquitofish. Fishing can be a really thrilling experience here.
If you are looking for a bit of spiritualism, then instead of staying confined inside the Srinagar hotels, you should go and visit the famed mosque called Jama Masjid. Other holy sites you can visit include places like Hazratbal Shrine, Shankaracharya Temple and Khir Bhawani Temple. Also, do not forget to pay visit to the resplendent Nishat Garden, Shalimar Garden and Chashma Shahi.

Trip to Shimla: Another enchanting and hypnotizing place of jaw-dropping beauty is Shimla, the hill station in Himachal Pradesh. Shimla is panoramically beautiful, no doubt. But what make the town different from the rest of the hill stations are its quaintness and a close association with the British. Just taking a walk in a sidewalk can be an ethereal experience since you are always surrounded by rhododendron-crusted forests, beautiful Shimla hotels and charming, little cottages.
