Detailed Itinerary
Begin your exploration at the Jamia Masjid, a 14th-century mosque commissioned by Sultan Sikandar in 1394 CE. Located in the heart of Srinagar's old city, Nowhatta, this mosque is renowned for its Indo-Saracenic architecture, featuring 378 wooden pillars that create a serene and almost otherworldly atmosphere.
Proceed to the Budshah Tomb, the final resting place of Sultan Zain-ul-Abidin's mother, constructed in her honor by the Sultan himself. This 15th-century, multi-domed tomb is a fine example of Indo-Saracenic architecture, a style that fuses Persian, Islamic, and Indian architectural elements.
Next, visit Khanqah Maula, one of the oldest Muslim shrines in the valley, dedicated to Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani, the saint who played a significant role in spreading Islam in Kashmir. The shrine is a blend of spirituality and stunning architecture, with intricate wooden carvings and a serene ambiance that will leave you in awe.
Conclude your tour at Hari Parbat Fort, a majestic fort perched on a hill overlooking Srinagar. The fort itself is steeped in legend, and the views from the top are simply breathtaking. You can see the entire city spread out below, with the distant mountains standing guard. Hari Parbat is more than just a fort; it’s a place where history, religion, and mythology intertwine.
