Srinagar
People usually book the houseboats of Dal Lake and the first thing the next morning is the sound of the morning prayers coming from the mosque which gives an indication that the market is about to open. Shikaras shall carry you to the market but it is always wise to book a Shikara beforehand as finding one in the morning could be a tough job! Why are we stressing on the Shikaras?
Well, you shall thank us for the wonderful views it shall present you with while on the way. The migrating birds chattering in unison, the magnificent view of the horizon and the serene music of the Dal Lake shall transport you into a beautiful world. You shall get to see hundreds of boats decorated with vegetables of vibrant colours, old Kashmiri women will be seen in the market along with their grandchildren and the best part is the sabzi walas flaunting their traditional attires.
And definitely, do not miss their banter in their Kashmiri language, as it highlights the true 'Kashmiriyat' feeling. It is a wholesale vegetable market where the shopkeepers buy vegetables from the farmers and later sell it all in the market.
To have best ever experience in Kashmir don't hesitate to contact us.
