Quick answer

Hazratbal is a white marble shrine on the northern shore of Dal Lake, revered across Kashmir. It's an active place of worship, so dress modestly, remove shoes where asked and be quiet around prayers. The lakeside and the pigeons at the front are a favourite stop, and it fits naturally after Shalimar Bagh.
