“Touch down in Srinagar, glide into the heart of Dal Lake and unwind on a houseboat — the perfect start to your Kashmir adventure.”
Welcome to Day 1 of our Kashmir Journey with #TravelWithSurajit, where travel is experienced through silence, natural beauty, and immersive visuals.
This Digital Photo Album captures the calm, beautiful, and emotional beginning of the trip—arrival at Srinagar, the first sights of Kashmir, and a peaceful night stay on a traditional houseboat on Dal Lake.
No talking. No noise. Just moments… exactly as they were.
✈️ Arrival in Srinagar – Gateway to Heaven
Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu & Kashmir, welcomes travelers with cool air, snow-kissed mountains, and the soothing charm of Dal Lake.
As soon as you step out of the airport, the landscape changes — chinars, valleys, and crisp air instantly set the mood for the days ahead.

Built with traditional Kashmiri craftsmanship, houseboats offer:
- Carved wooden interiors
- Cozy rooms
- Warm hospitality
- Lake-view balconies
- Shikara pickup service
At night, Dal Lake becomes magical — shimmering lights, gentle ripples, and cold mountain winds create a perfect welcome to Kashmir.

- Deluxe: ₹3,500 – ₹6,000
