A shikara boat ride on Dal Lake at dawn โ before the flower sellers, tourists, and vegetable markets emerge โ is one of the most serene experiences in India. The Mughal gardens (Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, Chashme Shahi) were designed by Mughal emperors as their paradise on earth and are best at sunrise before the coach tours arrive. Gulmarg (2,650m) is 50 km from Srinagar and runs the highest gondola in the world โ in winter, the snow quality rivals the Alps.
T-money cards work on all transit. Elders are given seats on public transport โ always.
๐ฎ๐ณ Kashmir Fun Fact
The Dal Lake 'floating gardens' (rad) are man-made islands of vegetation woven together over centuries โ vegetable farmers grow tomatoes, cucumbers, and lotus roots in plots that literally float on the lake and can be poled to market by shikara. Kashmir saffron (Crocus sativus Kashmirianus) grown in the Pampore crocus fields is among the world's most prized โ it takes 150,000 flowers to produce 1 kg of dried saffron, and the harvest window is just two weeks in October.
๐ฐ๐ท Seoul Fun Fact
Seoul has the world's fastest average internet speed and more Michelin-starred restaurants per capita than Paris.
