Kashmiri fishermen cover their heads and part of their boats with blankets and straw as they wait to catch fish in the waters of the Anchar Lake on a cold day in Srinagar.
In winter months the Kashmiri fishermen use a unique method of camouflaging their presence to lure the fish into a trap with the help of reeds and shock waves by beating the water.

FLOATING VEGETABLE MARKET - A must place to visit in Srinagar | Explore Kashmir Ep :14 | VLOG #92

Sringar's 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.

Floating vegetable vendors are a prime tourist attraction in the Kashmir Valley, and this is reflected in the sales and annual turnover, estimated to be in the range of Rs. 35 crores. There are no permanent shops on the lake. The floating market first attracted international attention in 1960, when a Japanese photographer featured it in a tourist guide that was published out of Japan.

Around 10,000 kanals (around 1,250 acres) of land along the Dal Lake is being used for the cultivation of vegetables, This is a very old market where the sale and the purchase of vegetables take place between 5 am. and to 7 am. everyday. Most of the vegetables are grown on the lakeside and retrieved from the lake before being sold in just 2 hours. Any vegetables left over are taken to street markets. This market is famous. Many tourists come here just to take photographs of it. Dal Lake is home to vast stretches of lotus plant. Lotus flowers not only balance the wetland ecosystem, but also lend a special kind of beauty to the lake.

Toxic and Stinking: The dying Khushal Sar Lake in Kashmir

The water body that was once a source of food for Srinagar, is dying a silent death.

Just five kilometers away from the Srinagar City, a few middle aged men share their worry. It isn't just Khushal Sar which is dying, but people who live in it, and depend on it too, they say.

Once known for its crystal clear water, and food that grows in it, like Nadru and fish, Khushal Sar is now toxic and stinking.

Post many disasters of management, of a living body of water, by engineers not qualified for environmental projects of lakes like Khushal Sar, the lake is continuing to die an unattended death, while becoming a dumping ground for waste.

I have always had trouble explaining to people why you should visit Kashmir. My explanation has always elicited the same incredulous look that says, ‘Oh! Then you have seen nothing’. I have been to several splendidly beautiful places on this planet; how much more heavenly can this Kashmir be, I have often wondered.... & then i used my lense to express what cannot be expressed in words ..
