Lal Chowk Clock Tower Emerges as Major Tourist Attraction Smart City facelift boosts footfall

Srinagar, June 27: The iconic Clock Tower at Lal Chowk, once known primarily as the political and commercial heart of Kashmir, has evolved into one of Srinagars biggest tourist attractions, with hundreds of visitors thronging the landmark every day to capture photographs, shoot videos and soak in the citys vibrant atmosphere. The historic Ghanta Ghar, which underwent a major facelift under the Srinagar Smart City project, has become a must-visit destination for tourists from across the country. The redeveloped pedestrian-friendly plaza, decorative lighting, seating spaces and well-maintained surroundings have transformed the landmark into a lively public space. Throughout the day, tourists can be seen posing with the Clock Tower, recording social media reels and exploring the bustling markets surrounding Lal Chowk. We had seen the Clock Tower in news reports and travel videos for years. Visiting it was at the top of our itinerary in Srinagar, said Priya Verma, a tourist from New Delhi. The place looks beautiful and has a wonderful atmosphere. We have clicked dozens of pictures here. For many visitors, the Clock Tower has become a symbol of modern Srinagar while retaining its historical significance. Lal Chowk is the identity of Srinagar. Standing in front of the Clock Tower and taking a photograph makes you feel connected to the city, said Rohan Mehta, a tourist from Mumbai. The entire area is clean, vibrant and full of life. Local traders say the steady influx of tourists has boosted business in the city centre. Earlier, tourists mostly visited Dal Lake and the Mughal Gardens. Now, almost every visitor spends time at Lal Chowk before returning, said Suhail Shah, a shopkeeper near the Clock Tower. Many tourists shop, dine and spend hours here, which has helped businesses immensely. Young residents also frequent the landmark during evenings, when the illuminated Clock Tower becomes a popular gathering spot. Tourism stakeholders believe the transformation of Lal Chowk has added another urban attraction to Kashmirs growing tourism landscape, complementing the valleys natural beauty.
