Where a scooty works best
A scooty is ideal for exploring Srinagar and its immediate surroundings, where distances are short and the roads are easy.
- The Dal Lake Boulevard and lakeside cafes
- The Mughal Gardens (Nishat, Shalimar, Cheshma Shahi)
- Shankaracharya, Hazratbal and the old city
- Short local errands and getting around at your own pace
Not for the hill stations
A scooty is for the city. The long climbs to Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonamarg are far beyond a scooter's comfort and safety - for those, hire a cab or a motorcycle. Keep the scooty for Srinagar and nearby.
