Beautiful Srinagar on Bike Bajaj Discover 135

Ramban to Srinagar & Srinagar Sightseeing (130 Kms)

A new day started around 8:00am and I’ve moved from Ramban to Srinagar. Today I have not traveled much as I had to stay at Srinagar only. I have traveled through the highway via Banihal, Anantnag, Awantipura and Pampore. I reached Srinagar by 1:00pm and chose to stay in houseboat (It was a must to stay on a floating boat, as seen in old movies). It was the real charm of the Dal Lake.

There were so many houseboat’s in a row on the calm water of Dal lake. I checked into a beautiful Houseboat and kept my luggage there. Then I decided to take a round of Dal Lake and have my lunch outside. Around 2:30 pm I took my bike and traveled along the Dal Lake and visited beautiful Nishat Bagh. I had my lunch there and came back to my houseboat location. Where my houseboat owner have arranged a Shikara Ride.

It was around 5:30pm I went for the Shikara Ride in Dal lake and visited the Floating market. So many vendors on their boats came to sell various types of things and handicrafts. It was so beautiful and memorable experience with a little bitterness, coz in the middle of Dal lake when we stopped at Nehru Park (Tourist Spot) someone stole my mobile. I have inquired about it with the people standing there, but no one could help. Hence, my mood got a little off. However, I tried overcoming it by sipping a hot Kahwa (Local hot refreshing drink) and continued my shikara ride and came back to my House boat by 7:30pm.

After this,I’ve called my family and informed about my location and details from an STD/PCO booth. I roamed around in the local market so sometime just opposite to Dal lake and had my dinner around 9:00pm and came back to my houseboat and slept by 10:30pm.
