CostsTravel note
Fix the shikara route, not just the price
Dal Lake ghats, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir
Published Oct 10, 2026 · RegretMap travel note
The situation
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.
