Send a postcard from a floating post office

Where: At Dal Lake in Srinagar

Tucked away on the edge of the beautiful Dal Lake in Srinagar is a floating post office—perhaps the only one of its kind in the world. Built on an intricately carved wooden houseboat, this government office is so fascinating that tourists take a boat ride all the way up to it, just to send a post card to their loved ones back home.The postal seal here is unique too, depicting a man rowing a shikara! Now here’s a souvenir with a difference, and one that perfectly captures the essence of Kashmir.
