Tip: Carry light layers — evenings on the lake can be cool.
Mughal Gardens, Old City & Evening Leisure on the Houseboat
After a relaxed breakfast on the houseboat, visit the iconic Mughal Gardens — Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, and Chashme Shahi. Explore the terraced gardens with panoramic views of the Dal Lake. Continue to the Old City for a guided walk through narrow lanes, visit the Shankaracharya Temple (viewpoint) and browse the bustling Lal Chowk markets for pashmina shawls and Kashmiri handicrafts. Return to the houseboat for an evening at leisure and an optional private candlelit dinner arranged by your butler.
Highlights: Mughal Gardens, Shankaracharya viewpoint, shopping in local markets.
Note: Some garden timings vary seasonally; we recommend morning visits to avoid crowds.

Enjoy leisurely walks, photography, and optional activities like pony rides or a guided nature stroll. Return to your houseboat in Srinagar by evening.

On the way back, stop for tea at a viewpoint and return to your houseboat for a relaxed final night with a specially curated farewell dinner prepared by your private butler.
