If you're looking to immerse yourself in the iconic charm of this lake while enjoying a premier travel experience, Kashmont is here to ensure every moment of your stay is filled with luxury and adventure.


The Magic of Life on Dal Lake

Dal Lake is not just a body of water—it's a way of life. When you book your tour with Kashmont, you get to experience the full spectrum of this lifestyle, from the tranquil mornings to the lively evenings. Staying in one of the luxurious houseboats anchored on Dal Lake is a highlight of any trip. These floating palaces are a perfect fusion of traditional Kashmiri craftsmanship and modern comforts. Each houseboat is adorned with intricate wood carvings, plush interiors, and private balconies that overlook the serene waters of the lake.

Things to Do on Dal Lake

  • Shikara Rides: No visit to Dal Lake is complete without a leisurely shikara ride. Glide across the water, passing through floating gardens, houseboats, and vendors selling everything from saffron to Pashmina shawls. It’s an experience that blends relaxation with exploration.

  • Floating Markets: Dal Lake is home to Asia’s only floating market, where vendors sell fresh produce, flowers, and crafts directly from their boats. It’s a vibrant spectacle and a must-see for anyone visiting the lake.

  • Bird Watching: The lake is a haven for birdwatchers, offering glimpses of various species, including kingfishers, herons, and Himalayan golden eagles.
