Nigeen Lake
نگین جھیل
A quiet lake area connected to the northern end of Dal Lake. Its houseboats are high-end and peaceful, with few tourists, earning it the name “Jewel of Dal Lake.”
Nigeen Lake connects to Dal Lake through a narrow channel. It is lined with willows and plane trees, and its water is clearer than Dal Lake's. Most of its houseboats are upscale and quiet, suited to travelers who prefer not to be bothered by vendors. Shikaras can pass from here through an ancient canal into Dal Lake, offering views of life in the floating villages along the way. It is about 3 kilometers from Hazratbal Shrine.
