I had been to Srinagar couple of times and every time I stroll around “Dal Lake”; I came across with different views and moods of the lake. I never had an idea that a lake can offer a you a great living place and just not a water body for survival. Whenever I go there; I find something new about this place.
Srinagar has one unique market to offer which tourists are generally not aware or not much interested to see and that a floating market in Dal Lake. To visit this market one has to wake up very early in the morning and say around 4:30am and have to take a Shikara, after an hour of boating, you will reach to the place call floating market, where one see lots of Shikara full of vegetables, flowers and all are available for sell, market won’t last long it’s just 2-3 hours in morning only. This tips just not for visiting market, it offers a unique experience to boat Dal lake during non-tourist hours with peace, on your return trip you will be witness for fabulous sunrise over Dal Lake, Floating Gardens and vegetable fields too.
