Tonga rides in Srinagar offer a nostalgic glimpse into the city's past, when horse-drawn carts were once a primary mode of transport along its streets and bridges.

Today, the same has been revived as a tourist experience.

The leisurely rides blend heritage with scenic charm, giving visitors a taste of old-world Kashmir.
