Overview for Wular Lake Kashmir Tour Package

Wular Lake sits in the Bandipora district of North Kashmir at approximately 1,580 metres — a body of water that covers between 24 and approximately 100 square kilometres depending on the season, fed by the Jhelum River entering from the south and draining back into the Jhelum on the northern side. It is measured as the largest freshwater lake in Asia by surface area and the standard Kashmir tourist circuit, which focuses entirely on the 18-square-kilometre Dal Lake in Srinagar, does not visit it. The lake is a working water — the fishing communities along the shoreline have run their boats on it for generations, the Jhelum’s seasonal flood pulse expands the lake dramatically in spring snowmelt and the winter months bring migratory birds in numbers that the Dal Lake circuit cannot match. This wular lake kashmir tour package builds a North Kashmir circuit around the lake with Lolab Valley as the companion destination on the return route.

Bon Voyagers handles the pickup from Jammu Railway Station or Airport and covers three nights with a private Innova, Xylo or Scorpio class vehicle throughout. Day 1 drives north through the Banihal Tunnel into the Kashmir Valley and northwest through Sopore to the Wular Lake western shoreline for the overnight. Day 2 gives the full Wular day — the lake, the Bandipora town eastern shore approach and the bird activity on the water. Day 3 moves south from Bandipora into the Lolab Valley for the afternoon before the Srinagar overnight. Day 4 returns to Jammu via the Banihal Tunnel. No Protected Area Permit is required for any destination on this route. Daily breakfast and dinner on MAP basis throughout.
