There is a craze for Shikara among the tourists coming to Jammu and Kashmir. When people come here, they definitely like to ride Shikara.All the delegates taking a Shikara ride in Dal Lake, Srinagar. Shikara is like a boat, which is decorated very beautifully. Lights have also been installed in it, which look even more beautiful at night.
Many people come only so that they can visit it. It is very fun to experience the plains of Kashmir by sitting on a decorated boat in the middle of the Dal lake.A light breeze, and the boat moving slowly tearing the water and the city of the evening….It seems as if you have come to a city of dreams.
There are some people who love to connect with nature and feel its beauty. Kashmir is one of those places where nature takes turns and draws people towards itself with its beauty.
