Dal Lake
Dal Lake is a stunning freshwater lake located in Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir. It is the second largest lake in Jammu and Kashmir and is often referred to as the "Lake of Flowers" or "Jewel in the Crown of Kashmir".
The lake is integral to tourism and recreation in the Kashmir Valley and is a popular destination for both tourists and locals.
The lake is surrounded by a boulevard lined with Mughal-era gardens, parks, houseboats, and hotels. Visitors can enjoy scenic views of the lake from the shore, as well as from houseboats cruising along the lake in colorful shikaras (traditional wooden boats). During the summer, the lake is adorned with lotus flowers, and the floating gardens, known as "Rad" in Kashmiri, add to its beauty.
Dal Lake is divided into four basins: Gagribal, Lokut Dal, Bod Dal, and Nigeen (though Nigeen is sometimes considered a separate lake). Each basin has its own unique charm and attractions1. The lake also features islands such as Char Chinar and Sona Lank, which are popular spots for visitors.
