The most beautiful mountain scenery for kashmir photos you'll find in Pahalgam, a town in the valley of Lidder, to 2,130 m altitude. Here you're in the middle Himalayas, but do not surround the ice giants but inhospitable mountains covered with pine forests. The air is pure and fresh. Srinagar is a journey of 95 km that can last several hours by the heavy traffic around the capital. If you travel with a rented vehicle can stop at several places, but the most interesting Avantipur, for its two temples, one dedicated to Vishnu (entrance 100 rupees, € 1.70) and a smaller one of Shiva. In Mattan is a Hindu temple dedicated to the sun god.

Before diving into the bustle of the streets you can do a kashmir photo tour the lake and delve into the channels formed between islands. During the photography tour you get to the Hazratbal mosque in a neighborhood section, which is surrounded by a market. A journey of a few hours can go from 500 rupees (€ 8.50). Another day will pay off early to get close to the floating market (ask at your house, a Shikara boat the night before about 250 rupees, 4.25 3), where both buyers and sellers travel by canoe. Here are mostly sold fruit, vegetables and flowers pictures.

The old town of Srinagar is a fascinating museum of folk architecture, with hundreds of wooden houses with many bazaars religious places.
