Nestled amid the regal Himalayas, Srinagar is a splendid tapestry of culture, crafts, and natural wonder. Its origins trace back to the 6th century under the rule of the Gonanda dynasty and it dazzled as a hub of learning for Hindu dynasties. The city subsequently saw its cultural landscape refined by the Mughal Empire in the 16th century with the creation of picturesque Mughal gardens. Since turning into the summer retreat of the Dogra kingdom of Jammu and Kashmir in 1846, it has enchanted visitors, from European explorers to Indian elites.

Srinagar's rich history has left a captivating blend of ancient capitals, temples, mosques, and shrines on its landscape, making it a paradise for culture enthusiasts. Lying on both sides of the Jhelum River and surrounded by notable lakes and wetlands, Srinagar is also a beacon for nature lovers and bird-watchers, thanks to its wealth of migratory birds attracted to the area's wetlands.
