In the local language, Kashmir’s Nigeen Lake refers to a jewel in a ring, and it’s easy to see why. The serene water of the lake is ringed by poplar and willow trees gazing at their reflection on the water’s surface. With its dazzling beauty, swimmable water, and proximity to the grand Hazratbal Masjid, a mosque, this lake is a popular tourist destination in Srinagar. If you want to see the lake up close, you can do no better than staying in a houseboat. These waterborne lodgings offer all the comforts of home in a unique setting.
