Old Srinagar is a museum of wood: brick-and-timber houses, carved balconies, lattice windows and ceilings fitted without nails. What to look for on a walk.
The hill crowning old Srinagar holds a Mughal-era wall, an Afghan fort and shrines revered by Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs. How to visit and when the views are best.
A self-guided walk through Srinagar's old city (Shehr-e-Khaas): Jamia Masjid, Khanqah-e-Moula, Jhelum bridges, spice markets and old wooden houses.
