Shopping in Srinagar means browsing traditional Kashmiri handicrafts across markets like Lal Chowk and Polo View Market, known for pashmina shawls, hand-knotted carpets, and Kashmiri jewellery. The floating markets on Dal Lake, where vendors sell from traditional wooden boats, are also worth a visit for a different kind of shopping experience.
Paper mache products that include jewellery boxes, wall hangings etc of a special style and design particular to the Kashmir, are a specialty here, and one cannot leave the state without getting their hands on some.
