Larger than life and less visited, Wular Lake holds a quiet kind of power. Situated in the heart of Kashmir, it stretches endlessly, surrounded by hills and reeds that sway in the breeze. The air here is different—cool and peaceful.

Unlike Dal Lake’s touristy buzz, Wular feels raw, untamed, and ancient. I watched fishermen glide across its surface, their boats cutting through the calm water. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, and you can’t help but reflect.

If you’re looking for a slice of Kashmir untouched by the crowds, Wular offers it in full, tranquil beauty.
