The waters of Dal Lake come to life with Shikara festival, which is going to start from October 19–20, 2011 in Srinagar. The festival is marked by Shikara rides past willow fringed lake-ways, floating vegetable markets and lotus patches.
Shikara is a Gondola type light rowing boat. A shikara ride is one of the most peaceful aspects of a holiday in Kashmir. Shikaras are used for getting back and forth from the houseboats or for longer tours.
Both the locals and international participants will take part in the event.
