“Jewel in the crown of Kashmir” (#21 in series)

 

At 5.36pm on 04 May 2024, we were on board a barge, in front of “our” houseboat.

We were about to head out into the quiet, unpopulated part of Dal Lake, well away from houses and houseboats.

Late afternoon light was flattering the houseboats that were directly opposite “ours”.

A few minutes later MV Bulbul (pictured in immediately-preceding post) would fire up, and begin to tow us, very slowly, toward the lake’s more “open” waters.

“Jewel in the crown of Kashmir” (#16 in series)

 

 

#15 in this series having delivered us to Dal Lake’s floating market, this chapter’s photos convey what the market looks like in 2024.

I am reliably informed that, as both “key local vegetable market” and as “tourist attraction”, it has become much-diminished over the last several years.

It is, however, still fascinating.
