Floating Market
Srinagar
Experience the unique floating vegetable, flower, and handicraft markets on Dal Lake where vendors and buyers transact entirely by Shikara boat. The early morning vegetable market (5:30–8:00 AM) is a colourful, chaotic, and deeply authentic Kashmiri cultural experience.

Pro tip from your tour advisor
Hire a shikara from the ghat nearest your houseboat for the market ride. Lotus stems (nadru) and fresh vegetables bought here make great food souvenirs.
