Wullar Lake-largest fresh-water lake in India-Char Chinar created by King Zain-ul-abidin

Wullar Lake-largest fresh-water lake in India-Char Chinar created by King Zain-ul-abidin

The largest fresh-water lake in India is 60 km from Srinagar. Spreading over a 125 km area, the lake, by drawing off excess water from the Jhelum, acts as a natural flood reservoir. 

Interesting ruins in the centre of the lake are the remains of an island Char Chinar created by King Zain-ul-abidin. With its turbulent  wateres perpetually wind ruffled, its exciting variety of avian life and the sheer beauty of its setting, Wular represents Nature at her most untamed.
