The horse-drawn cart, once a crucial mode of transportation for ferrying essentials across the valley, now offers a unique experience for both locals and tourists. The revival has quickly captured public imagination, with videos of the cart trotting along Boulevard Road going viral on social media.

This initiative not only provides a novel attraction but also serves a practical purpose. The cart offers scenic routes from Nishat to Shalimar and Habbak, allowing visitors to experience the beauty of Srinagar at a leisurely pace.

The success of this venture highlights the potential of marrying traditional elements with modern tourism needs. It's a testament to the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of Srinagar's youth, who have found a way to preserve their cultural heritage while creating new opportunities.

As the clip-clop of hooves once again echoes along Srinagar's streets, it's clear that this revival is more than just a tourist attraction – it's a journey back in time, offering a glimpse into Kashmir's rich historical tapestry.
