Dal lake in Kashmir Srinagar, shikara boat ride day-night tour video.
Srinagar Dal Lake is famous the world over for its scenic location, for its shikaras (boats) that float on it and for the promotion of aqua sports like water skiing. The Dal Lake is also famous for its 'floating vegetable market', the only one of its kind in India and only the second in the world, the other being the rowing shops along the backwaters of the Mekong Delta in Vietnam.
Dal is a lake in Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir, India. ... The lake covers an area of 18 square kilometres (6.9 sq mi) and is part of a natural wetland which covers 21.1 square kilometres (8.1 sq mi), including its floating gardens.
✅Dal Lake Morphology:
Visitors may be surprised to find that Dal Lake is a single body of water as it has the appearance of being many different lakes and pools interconnected and divided by numerous causeways, buildings on stilts, floating gardens and houseboats.
✅Access to Dal Lake:
Being an urban lake, it is easily accessible with roads running around it and reaching this part of the world is fairly easy with a good road network and an airport just 7 km away at Badgam. It should be noted however that no rail service operates in this region.
✅Dal Lake and Tourism:
The lake is a major attraction for tourism and recreation and although it also offers some commercial uses such as fishing and weed harvesting for compost making, these are of secondary significance. Perhaps the most defining feature of the lake from the point of view of tourism is the sight of hundreds of houseboats moored close to the shorelines.
✅Dal Lake House Boats:
The first houseboats appeared during the days of British colonial rule when the beauty of this part of the country lured many of the British but the Maharaja of Kashmir strictly controlled the building of houses. The British overcame such restrictions by simply taking to the water. Each of the early houseboats was built in a particularly British style leading to them being described as “each a little piece of England”. Today’s houseboats continue to offer accommodation and style seemingly from an earlier age. Many visitors choose to stay at one of these unique floating homes but there are also good quality hotels and restaurants on the lake-front.
Spending time on the water is a priority for most people and one of the favourite modes of transport is the shikaras boat which has been described as the gondola of Kashmir. The owners of houseboats invariably provide shikaras for the use of their guests and others are available for hire at reasonable, although usually negotiable, rates.
✅What to See at Dal Lake:
There are many interesting places to visit such as the ancient temple of Shankaracharya or the masses of lotus flowers which bloom in July and August. The lake also has many floating gardens often moored in close proximity to the houseboats. These gardens are created from sections of matted vegetation which are simply cut free and manoeuvred into position. Perhaps unsurprisingly, water-loving crops such as melons, cucumbers and tomatoes seem to grow particularly well in these conditions.
✅When to Visit Dal Lake:
The most popular time to visit Dal Lake is between June and August when the weather is probably at its most pleasant. Average summer temperatures range from 12 to 30 degrees Celsius making this a pleasant escape from the scorching summer temperatures found in much of India. Most people seem to agree with the old Maharaja on his choice of summer retreat.
Winter, however, has its own attractions and this is when the spectacular scenery can be experienced at its magnificent best. Winter temperatures average around 1 to 11 degrees Celsius but during a harsh winter, temperatures can drop as low as minus 11 degrees and at such temperatures, the surface of the lake can freeze. Needless to say, venturing onto the frozen surface can be extremely dangerous and should not be attempted without taking specialist advice from local experts.
