Cruise on Lake Dal

On the shores of Lake Dal there are a number of piers from where you can go on a cruise on the lake. The offer of boats is really wide

The busiest part of the boat dock is probably next to a small green mosque

First it floats on an open surface. There will be plenty of other boats around you and you can enjoy the mountain ridge east of the lake. This mountain massif is about 2,700 meters above sea level

In Shikarach, mostly tourists travel, mostly Indian. The locals usually only have ordinary canoes

The lake is famous for hundreds of houseboats where tourists stay. Attention, it is always necessary to bargain a lot, the prices are very inflated and the accommodation is more expensive than in hotels – you pay for the original experience

Only a small part of the lake has a „free“ surface. There are many canals, islands and overgrown water

The farther you are from the port, the more calm there is on the lake. You can watch birds or water lilies here

The imposing Srinagar Fortress stands on the horizon on the hill

The cruise is pleasant, relaxing. There are many nice views

The lake is really rich in vegetation

Typical living on stilts directly above the lake

Finally a surprise, a stop at the house with souvenirs :-)
