FLOATING VEGETABLE MARKET OF SRINAGAR.

The Dal Lake in Srinagar is a mini world of its own. A vast body of water, especially when seen with the adjoining Nigeen Lake, Dal Lake covers an area of more than 22 square kilometers. On clear days, it is truly spectacular as its mirror-like surface reflects the intricately carved wooden houseboats, colourful shikaras, rugged Pir Panjal mountains, and trees. In autumn, the red-gold foliage of the chinars is absolutely stunning and add to that the vast blue sky and the maze of human habitats that crisscross these lakes. As I said, Dal Lake of Srinagar is a self-contained world and they even grow their own vegetables. In fact, most of Srinagar´s fresh produce comes from there and the floating vegetable market is a huge draw amongst both the tourists and the locals. The tourists go there to experience something unique and the locals go there to procure the freshest vegetables at the most competitive prices. #myitinerary #citydaytours #thingstodo #travel #couplestrip #staycation #thingstodo #localfood
