Beautiful Floating Market At Dal Lake , Srinagar , Kashmir , Incredible India Editorial Photo

There is no other better way to catch life on the Dal Lake than from the comfort of a shikara. Once the floating market winds up, hop on to a shikara for a leisurely two hour ride which takes you through the local canals and for sure you would return spellbound. During the Dogra rule of Kashmir, the British were not allowed to construct houses in the valley. In order to bypass this rule, they built lavish houseboats, some of them with elaborate walnut wood carvings and splendid open decks.
