Shalimar, etc.

So we spent three days in Srinagar. On the first day, we found two houseboats to stay, and in the evening, went around the market place in the Dal lake. On the second day, shikaras took us to the Mughul garden of Shalimar and Hazarat Bal shrine. On the third day, we had to vacate and find a hotel closer to the outskirts of the town. The whole place was to be under curfew to facilitate security arrangements for a presidential visit, and we had to start for Kargil the next morning. Some of us chose to while away in the hotel room and market places, the rest chose to visit Shankaracharya temple.
