Whenever the most beautiful and prestigious lakes of India are mentioned, the first name that comes to mind is the famous ‘Dal Lake’ located in the valleys of Kashmir, which is also called heaven on earth. Surrounded by high snow covered mountains and pine trees on all sides, this lake remains the main center of attraction among tourists for its calm and blue water surface.

Apart from this, enjoying the famous Floating Markets floating on water and the Kashmiri handicrafts and local cuisine available there makes this trip even more special. In the morning, when the first rays of the sun fall on the water of Dal Lake and there is fog all around, the view looks as beautiful as a painting, which is impossible to describe in words.
Ladakh’s ‘Pangong Tso Lake’, situated at an altitude of about 14,000 feet above sea level, is known all over the world for its unique and unimaginable beauty. The biggest feature of this high-altitude lake is that it changes its color at different times of the day, sometimes it appears dark blue and sometimes it turns turquoise or green. After the shooting of many superhit Bollywood films (like ‘Three Idiots’), this lake has topped the travel bucket list among Indian and foreign tourists. Sitting on the banks of this huge lake amidst the backdrop of snowy mountains and spending time amidst the blue sky and cool breeze is no less than a spiritual experience. Although the temperature here remains very low and the oxygen level is also low, yet the natural grandeur here never fails to attract tourists.
The city of ‘Udaipur’, located in the middle of the Marudhara and desert areas of Rajasthan, is called the City of Lakes, but ‘Lake Pichola’ has its own historical and magical existence. This artificial lake surrounded by the Aravali hills was constructed centuries ago, in the middle of which the famous ‘Jag Mandir’ and ‘Lake Palace’ add to its beauty. In the evening, when the golden rays of the setting sun fall on the water of Lake Pichola and the palaces made of white marble, the entire city looks like a fairy tale.
