India is famous throughout the world for its unique geographical diversity and natural wonders. Here in the north there are the huge peaks of the snow-clad Himalayas, while in the south there is an infinite ocean spread far and wide. But amidst all this, the huge lakes of India hold a special place in the hearts of tourists. At some places, behind the blue and glass-transparent water, huge mountains touching the sky are visible, while at other places, the historical and royal palaces built right in the middle of the calm lake seem like a fairy tale. If you also want to take a break from the busy everyday life and spend some moments of peace in the serene valleys of nature, then these 6 most beautiful lakes of India should definitely be included in your travel bucket list. Visiting these lakes will not only make your journey pleasant and memorable, but will also introduce you to the supernatural works of nature. Pangong Tso of Ladakh and Dal Lake of Kashmir: A dreamlike feeling amidst blue water and peaks. Whenever the most beautiful lakes of India are mentioned, the name of the world famous 'Pangong Tso Lake' of Ladakh first comes to mind. Situated at an altitude of more than 14,000 feet, this salt water lake is known for its color-changing magic. With sunlight, the water of this lake appears to change from dark blue to green and purple. The barren and huge brown mountains located around it along with the blue water create such an unreal scene that every tourist is stunned to see. On the other hand, the historical 'Dal Lake' located in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, 'Heaven on Earth', has its own unique beauty. Riding colorful shikaras in Dal Lake and spending the night in houseboats floating on the lake water is a dream of every traveller. The view of the floating vegetable market in the middle of Dal Lake in the morning makes this lake unique in the world. Pichola Lake of Udaipur and Loktak Lake of Manipur: Amazing story of floating palaces and natural islands. 'Pichola Lake' located in Udaipur, the 'city of lakes' of Rajasthan, is one of the few places in India where the confluence of history, royalty and nature can be seen together. The 'Lake Palace' (Taj Lake Palace) and 'Jag Mandir', situated right in the middle of this huge lake, appear as if a royal palace is floating on the water. When the water of Lake Pichola glows golden in the rays of the setting evening sun and the Aravalli hills are visible behind, then that scene is worth seeing. Talking about North-Eastern India, 'Loktak Lake' of Manipur is the only lake in the world on which small natural islands float on water. These floating islands are called 'Phumdis' in the local language. The world's only floating national park 'Keibul Lamjao' is situated above this lake, which is the natural habitat of the rare Sangai Deer. Nainital's famous Naini Lake and Odisha's Chilika Lake: The peace of the valleys and the world of Siberian birds 'Naini Lake', surrounded by hills in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, has remained the first choice of tourists and newly married couples for years. Spread in the shape of a mango (crescent shape), lush green forests of cedar and oak are spread around this lake. Enjoying boating in the blue-green waters of the lake during the day and seeing the twinkling lights on the hills surrounding the lake at night fills everyone's heart with peace. 'Chilika Lake', located in Odisha on the east coast of India, is the largest salt water lagoon lake in Asia. This lake is not only known for its vastness, but is also home to exotic Siberian birds (Migratory Birds) and the rare Irrawaddy Dolphins, which come here in millions during the winter season. Watching dolphins leaping out of the water and hearing flocks of birds chirping while taking a boat ride in Chilika Lake is an experience that will keep your travel memory fresh forever.
