Nagin Lake, Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir India

Nagin Lake, though sometimes referred to as a separate lake, is actually part of Dal Lake, being linked through a causeway which permits only bikers and walkers to enter the lake precincts. The caseway carries the water supply pipeline to the Srinagar city in the east.

Nagin Lake is deeper and less polluted it's also good for swimming and there are fiberglass sailing boats available for hire and water skiing facilities. 

Nagin Lake is a good place to find a house boat and do it the surroundings are much more serene and isolated than on Dal Lake. One can rent rowboats from the camping site here - either to simply row around the lake or to look around for a houseboat.
