Book your shikara ride in advance and cruise through Srinagar’s iconic Dal Lake hassle-free

When in Jammu and Kashmir, it is a must to visit Dal Lake. The popular tourist spot in Srinagar has a wide range of offerings, starting from the Kahwa tea sellers selling the Kashmir special chai on their boats to floating markets and restaurants. With activities like water skiing and jet skiing, you can easily turn your visit into a full day of adventure and fun. Adding to the experience is Uber’s latest venture that is gearing up to make your trip even more comfortable. One of the leading cab services of the country has launched Uber Shikara on Dal Lake in an effort to help tourists by offering advanced booking on their app. You can reserve your shikara anywhere between 12 hours to 15 days in advance, and four passengers can travel in one boat. No advance payment is needed. So, are you ready to try Uber Shikara as you marvel at the beauty of the lake? Don’t forget to tune in to the song Socho Ke Jheelo Ka Sheher Ho from Mission Kashmir for the ultimate #vibe check.
