Located minutes from the Lal Chowk commercial district, Radisson Srinagar is ideally placed for exploring the city’s tranquil terraced gardens and hilltop temples. See picturesque houseboats at nearby Dal Lake, or climb aboard a shikara, a wooden boat similar to the gondolas in Venice, Italy. Take a trip to one of several hill stations outside the city—you can hit the ski slopes at Gulmarg or trek to Pahalgam’s famous Kolahoi glacier. Looking for fun things to do between meetings? Perfect your putt at Kashmir Golf Club or head to the Jhelum River to snap a photo on Zero Bridge with a breathtaking mountain backdrop.
