Anchar Lake

Anchar Lake is linked to the beautiful Dal Lake by a waterway known as "Amir Khan Nallah," making it one of Srinagar's most soothing destinations. Floodwaters from Dal Lake are channeled here during floods.

Anchar Lake is a great place to visit for nature enthusiasts who want to do some birding and photography. Birdwatching is especially popular in the winter, when water birds like Teal, Pochard, Gadwall Snipe, and Mallard may be seen readily. At the Anchar Lake, guests may also take Shikara rides.
