Skywatch Friday - Srinagar (Kashmir) from Taj

Everyone knows that Srinagar is a beautiful place. No doubt about it. But we are not sure whether many visitors have had an chance to see the panoramic view of the city. One such place where you can get a fantastic view of the city is from Taj Vivanta hotel which is perched on a hill. We clicked this picture on a morning in August. Sky was overcast, else we would have seen the lovely Himalayas as backdrop. The best month to get a view of the city with snow bound mountains as backdrop should be early summer. The colourful roof of Kashmir houses add beauty to this picture. 


It reminds me what Muzaffar, our chauffeur in Srinagar said about Kashmir "Jannat hai saab" (It is heaven sir!). He is not wrong.

Skywatch Friday - Dal lake, Srinagar

Dal lake in Srinagar is truly beautiful. It is so huge that it looks almost like an ocean. Bound by hills, it must rank as one of most prettiest lakes in the country. The house boats anchored at different places, shikaras moving slowly on the lake adds to the beauty of the lake,


We took this picture from Nishat gardens. It was evening and sky was overcast. There was a lone shikara anchored in the lake and it was a lovely complement to the arch in the foreground.
