Hi @Aakidmalik ,
This looks really interesting! How can one get to a boat and shop from the others? Is it mainly vegetables and fruits? Have you ever beent to one? Being from a different culture, I’ve never seen anything like this, but it looks really cool I must say.
Thanks a lot for sharing!
Yes I have been there to buy vegetables for my home. This is one of the freshest vegetable market in kashmir.

Around 50 boats gather at a point in the interior of Srinagar’s Dal Lake, creating ripples in the turquoise water.
