Anchar Lake, Srinagar Overview
Anchar Lake, north of Srinagar and connected to Dal Lake by a channel, is a quieter alternative to the city's more touristy lakes. It's particularly scenic in winter, when migratory bird species gather here.
Must Know Before You Visit Anchar Lake
Must-Know :
- You cannot access houseboats on the lake as frequently nowadays. Since the lake’s water conditions are slowly worsening, a trip to its middle is difficult, albeit possible through a few Shikara boats.
- Bird watchers or bird enthusiasts can visit the lake in winters as you can sight migratory birds like pochards, mallards, snipes, etc.
- Some parts of the lake are shallower and less visit-worthy than others, so ask the locals for an ideal spot. You can follow the directions or consult someone to find a scenic view of the lake.
