Dal Lake is huge. If you start from Dal Gate, drive around the lake on Boulevard road all the way to Hazratbal, it is a total of 16 kilometers. That is how big it is. Even then, you haven\u2019t driven around the lake completely. It is really a city in itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this entire 16-kilometer-long drive, you will notice gazebos and stops on the shores of the lake. These are called Ghats. I do not know the exact number but I think there are more than 30 ghats on Dal Lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


These ghats serve as viewpoints, as well as Shikara stands. Just drive around the lake, stop at any of the ghats and you can board a Shikara from there. A ride usually lasts 30 to 45 minutes at most. You can do it for a longer period of time as well but then you will have to pay more. You just sit on the Shikara, relax, click pictures, and enjoy the view as the boatman rows it around. How will your ride be will depend on the time and the point you started it from.
The sun is quite harsh in Srinagar and you will be surprised at how hot it can get in the months from April to September. If you go for a Shikara ride during the day, you will just do it for the sake of it. It won\u2019t be as fun as it would be either in the morning or evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
