With a Free Ride to Dal Lake, visitors can immerse themselves in the splendor of this majestic destination without spending a dime. Here’s a glimpse of the highlights of Kashmir and what you can expect on this memorable free ride to Dal Lake:

As you glide across the calm waters, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the mesmerizing reflections on the lake’s surface.
