A mozu:r
(or kuli:)
is ubiquitous in Kashmir. The closest equivalent of mozu:r
in the western world is a porter or a redcap. The mozu:r
carries luggage for travelers from various arrival points to the hotels and
houseboats. The government has made attempts to fix their rates, but
bargaining is still essential. In the majority of cases, a tip is desirable.
A
is a bed-roll which an Indian traveller n.mp3ally carries with him. In
western style hotels and houseboats, the bedding is provided.
The dalge:t
separates the city of Srinagar and the river Jhelum from Dal Lake. It also
controls the flow of water from the lake into a tributary of the Jhelum.
There is a gate which has adjustable wooden planks for controlling the flow
of the water. The Boulevard Road, which goes around the lake, starts from
the dalge:t.
