Dal Lake aerial journey in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India
Aerial view of Dal Lake in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir. The fascinating, magnificent view of Dal Lake with calm water can be seen.The fascinating Dal Lake is divided into two smaller ones the Lokut (small) and Bod (big) Dal.Dal Lake is, initially, one of the most confusing parts of Srinagar for it is not really one lake at all, but three.
As we go on this serene aerial journey our eyes fall on the beautifully well-decorated Shikaras and houseboats. Tourists on these colourful Shikaras are seen to enjoy the gorgeous view of the lake. One side of the lake is deeply moored with the house boats. These houseboats look so firmly moored they could almost be islands and hotels on islands which look like they could simply float away.
Dal Lake is a maze of intricate waterways and channels.There are three islands in the lake; three real islands anyway, there are other sorts of islands joined by causeways. Around the lake are many of Srinagar's most interesting sights, in particular, the pleasant Mughal gardens. It's also flanked by hills, particularly along its east bank. The Shankaracharya hill provides a very fine view over the lake.
The lake is probably at its most beautiful when the lotus flowers bloom in July and August. The floating gardens, known as Rad in Kashmiri, are one of the stranger aspects of Dal Lake. They're composed of matted vegetation and earth, which are cut away from the lake bottom and towed to a convenient location where they are moored.
The waters of Dal Lake are amazingly clear. Nevertheless, one is advised not to go swimming in the lake although the swimming houseboats, equipped with diving boards and chutes, are moored in a deeper part of the lake, 'upstream' from the concentration of houseboats. Swimming here can be quite refreshing, especially on a hot afternoon.
