The Dal lake and the Gardens like Nishat,Shaalimaar,Chashmeshahi,Nagin etc around it and the seven bridges on the river Jehlum in Srinagar.Then You may go to Anantnag,Kokarnag,Achabal,Mattan,Pahalgam and Adu.Also we have Gulmarg,Khilanmarg,Yusmarg,Baramullah and the Wular lake.There could be much more,but i feel this would be enough for one trip.
