Small garden with trees, house, and houseboat in the Dal Lake in Srinagar, Kashmir, India, looking very beautiful.
A small garden and bit of land in the Dal Lake. There are a number of trees in this small patch of land within the lake. Just behind this is a house with part of the house on stilts for support within the lake. Right in front is a small wooden boat and to the left side of the photo is a large houseboat. These are large wooden houseboats that tourists like to stay in. The reflection of the garden in the water of the lake looks great. The garden has a wire on the lake blocking off people from entering that part of that lake and when one looks towards the house, there is a gas cylinder with a pipe entering the house. The Dal Lake is one of the crowing glories of Srinagar, driving most tourists to the region. The lake is contained within the city of Srinagar and is not very large (you can drive around the outer edge of the lake within a matter of hours), with the outer perimeter being around 16 kilometers. The lake forms an integral part of the economy of the city, with tourism centered around the lake, and with fishing and water plant harvesting also happening on the lake. A large number of tourists live on the lake, in the large and beautiful house boats that are positioned in the lake (and in fixed positions, with all facilities available on the houseboats). In addition, the iconic site of tourists in the shikaras on the lake is a familiar sight, and every tourist does enjoy such a ride. The gardens near the shore of the Lake (Shalimar, Nishaant, Chasme-Shahi) were developed by the great Mughal rulers who loved the climate of Kashmir and are incredibly beautiful. The lake is not very deep, with the deepest part of the lake being 6 meters. The unfortunate part is that for the past several decades, the lake has been seeing a reduction in the area covered by the lake, although in the past several years, there has been an effort to reduce the reasons for the reduction in the area covered by the lake. The lake is fed by some perennial streams and by spring sources.
