Dal lake

Dal Lake is often referred to as the “Jewel of Kashmir” and it’s easy to see why. This picturesque freshwater lake is nestled in the heart of Srinagar, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains and Mughal gardens. One of the most unique features of Dal Lake is its floating gardens, known as radds. These gardens are constructed from layers of vegetation and mud and are used to cultivate vegetables and flowers. A leisurely ride on a shikara, a traditional Kashmiri boat, is a must-do experience. Glide through the calm waters, taking in the breathtaking scenery and enjoying the peace and quiet. For a truly unforgettable stay, consider spending a night on a houseboat. These luxurious accommodations offer a unique perspective of the lake and its surroundings
