DAL LAKE, SRINAGAR

The view east from Dal Lake. Though Srinagar is in a large valley, one is always aware of the mountains nearby.

Morning at Dal Lake, Srinagar. The houseboats of Srinagar have a long and curious history, and one facet is this interesting account on the origin of houseboat names.

Dal Lake is a beautiful spot but is dying from its own success. While staying on a houseboat I witnessed the Protests in Srinagar Against Government Apathy Towards Dal Lake - Kashmir Observer, 4 March 2008.
