Floating Vegetable Market

In the maze of channels at the edge of Dal Lake, the dawn vegetable market is a photogenic sight, even if vendors flogging souvenirs and saffron can outnumber the vegetable boats. By 7am it's all over. Ninety-minute round trips from Nehru Park jetty are offered by shikara (gondola-like boat; ₹500), leaving around 5.30am. Book the night before.
