Dal Lake ghats, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir
Shikara rides on Dal Lake are offered from numbered ghats along the boulevard. A ride can mean a quick loop or a long tour with shop stops, so the same price buys very different trips.
The lesson
Agree on the duration, route and stops before you get in.
Nishat Bagh, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir
Srinagar's Mughal gardens look very different through the year. Spring blooms and autumn chinar colours are the famous seasons; in deep winter the fountains are off and it can be bitterly cold.
The lesson
Match your expectations to the month, and pack warm if you come in winter.
