The Dal Lake is a famous lake in Srinagar, Kashmir, India. The lake itself is connected to a number of other lakes of the valley. It is well known for its shikaras or house boats. The lake spans 18 square Km, and is divided by causeways into four basins, called Gagribal, Lokut Dal, Bod Dal and Nagin. Lokut-dal and Bod-dal have an island each in the centre, known as Rup Lank (or Char Chinari) and Sona Lank respectively. Along most of the shore of the Lake is a boulevard, lined with Mughal-era gardens, parks, and hotels. During the winter season the lake sometimes freezes over.
Apart from the houseboats, the Lake and Waterways Dal Authority allows kayaking, canoeing, water surfing and licensed angling on the lake.

Wi-Fi access was implemented across the lake in November 2003, making it the first lake in the world to provide wireless connectivity.Sewage, Water hyacinths and silt are the major problems affecting the lake.

There are other, smaller lakes around in Kashmir which are also just as beautiful, but, I am sure you mean the Dal/Nishat Lakes, that are in Srinagar and are next to each other: absolutely Heavenly!!
If you are familiar with the language, they say:
"Gar Firdaus Bar-ruey zaminey ast
Haminey ast-u, haminey ast-u, haminey-ast"
Literally: If there be Heaven on Earth, it is here, it is here, it is here!!
Cheers!
