Nigeen Lake
Nigeen Lake
is situated on the west side of Dal Lake
. Although it is a separate Lake but is sometimes considered as a part of Dal Lake. This lake is bordered by the beautiful and green Willow and Poplar trees. The whole background offers you views of the Himalayas. This lake is adjacent to the hill of Hari Parbat.
If you are planning your visit to Kashmir, then a visit to this lake is a must, as you can enjoy peace here. The calm water of the lake and the cold breeze blowing through the trees of Willow and Poplar will take all your stress away. A stay in a house-boat will make your trip more memorable as you can enjoy the luxuries of the house-boat and the exterior view of the lake.
Although
Nigeen Lake does not recieve a huge rush, but it is very serene and calm. People who love to spend time at a peaceful place can visit here rather than at Dal Lake. The lake is surrounded by the beautiful and alluring mounatins. The view that you got to see from the house-boat is so satisfying and peaceful.
The best time you can enjoy from the houseboat is dusk and dawn. This place is cut-off from the hustle and bustle of the main city. The cab booked under the
package by Duke Kashmir Travels
can take you there from your pick-point. Also, the Shikaara ride
is complimentary and can provide you the night-stay in the house-boat.
How to reach:-
It will take you almost 45-50 minutes to reach Nigeen Lake from the Srinagar International Airport.
