Shikaras on Dal Lake, Kashmir
Dal is a freshwater lake and is integral to tourism and recreation in the Kashmir valley. It is also an important source for commercial operations in fishing and water plant harvesting. The shoreline of the lake,about 15.5 kms, is encompassed by a boulevard lined with several Mughal era gardens, parks, houseboats and hotels. The lake covers an area of 18 sq.kms and is part of a natural wetland which covers 21,1 sq.kms including floating gardens.The floating gardens, known as "Raad" in Kashmiri, blossom with lotus flowers during July and August.
Happy Sunday dear friends.
