Dal Lake's

Dal Lake's allure lies in its ethereal beauty and pristine surroundings.

The mirror-like Dal Lake reflects the snow-dusted peaks of the Pir Panjal mountains while the colourful shikaras (gondolas) float around. The houseboats and shikaras are its main attractions. Despite the challenges, Dal Lake remains a jewel in Srinagar's crown, renowned for its floating markets, gardens, and the famous floating post office.
