Dal Lake

Frozen Dal Lake attracts tourists 

Srinagar, January 6 
A shikara on the frozen Dal Lake in SrinagarIt was a feast for everyone’s eyes, as it happened after almost 27 years when people got a chance to see a completely frozen Dal Lake. The frozen lake has become a major tourist attraction in the Valley. The last time the Dal Lake froze completely was in 1984.
However, the shikarawalas are having a tough time.“When we woke up in the morning, we could not move our boats due to a sheet of ice that had accumulated over a large portion of the lake.
