Singhtseeing
Dal Lake
One of the most enchanting aspects of Dal Lake is its floating gardens, known locally as "Rad" or "Raad." These unique gardens, created by weaving together layers of aquatic vegetation, soil, and manure, float atop the lake's surface, yielding a bounty of vibrant flowers and vegetables throughout the year.
Wullar Lake
Wular Lake attracts tourists from far and wide who come to admire its natural beauty and indulge in recreational activities such as boating, fishing, and birdwatching. Several tourist facilities, including resorts, houseboats, and picnic spots, are available along the lake's shores to cater to visitors.
Tragbal Meadow
Tragbal Meadow is renowned for its pristine natural beauty, characterized by lush green meadows, vibrant alpine flowers, and crystal-clear streams meandering through the landscape. The meadow is surrounded by snow-capped peaks, including the prominent Harmukh Mountain, adding to its scenic allure.
Razdan Pass
Razdan Pass is strategically important due to its location as the gateway to the remote and rugged terrain of the Ladakh region. It marks the transition from the lush greenery of the Kashmir Valley to the barren, high-altitude landscape of Ladakh. The pass offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.
Dawar Village
Dawar village is blessed with breathtaking natural beauty, with panoramic views of the azure waters of Wular Lake and the surrounding snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas. The lush greenery of the countryside, dotted with orchards, meadows, and rice fields, adds to the charm of the village.
Tulail Valley
Tulail Valley is blessed with breathtaking natural beauty, characterized by lush green meadows, dense forests, and snow-capped mountains. The valley is crisscrossed by numerous streams and rivers, including the Kishanganga River, which adds to its picturesque charm. During the summer months, the valley comes alive with vibrant wildflowers, making it a paradise for nature lovers and photographers.

The houseboats are stationary but provide a floating experience that is peaceful and immersive. You'll wake up to the sounds of the water, the calls of local birds, and the sight of the morning mist lifting off the lake.
