General Information
The capital city of Kashmir is the soul and pulse of the state. Life
in the city revolves around the river Jhelum and the Dal Lake. Srinagar is located
in the heart of the Kashmir valley at an altitude of 1,730 m above sea level,
spread on both sides of the river Jhelum. The Dal and Nagin lakes enhance its
picturesque setting, while the changing play of the seasons and the salubrious
climate ensures that the city is equally attractive to visitors around the year.
Nestling in the midst of the great peaks of the Karakoram, Zanskar and Pir Panjal
ranges and at a height of 1,730 metres, Srinagar is a truly beautiful city.
The summer capital (May - October) of Jammu & Kashmir and the centre of
the valley, this city has been eulogised by travellers, poets, kings and saints
alike for its scenic splendour and delightful ambience.
