Water Trek

 

Water Skiing
Skiing is considered to be one of the prime extreme sports in the adventurous sport, but water skiing is something that allows a water sport lover to make a splash at the oceanic depths of the sea world. It is just like surfing in many ways, here too you do get to balance on the ski board, but a strong sensory power is also required here.
Water sports are the fun making aspect of Kashmir. The Dal and Nagin lakes in Srinagar and the Manasbal Lake, 32-km from Srinagar are the best places for water-skiing.
The largest area of the Dal, the Boddal, has privately owned 'bathing boats', water-skies and trained.

 

Instructors
There are more bathing boats at the Nagin Lake and also a government run Institute to guide the lovers of Water Sports. The Nagin lake too has trained instructors and is more preferred because of its clean water.

 

The Treasured Location In Isolation
Manasbal Lake, accessible from Srinagar by road, is isolated from the rest of the world by the hills that surround it. Tranquil with a mirror like gloss on its base makes Manasbal an attractive water sports resort. One can hire the latest water-skiing equipment and also specially trained instructors for the beginners here. All through the summer season in Kashmir - starting from May to the end of August - the water of the lakes in Kashmir is pleasant for water sports. The Tourist's huts and bungalows are available on all the above resorts to make the stay on these places a memorable and comfortable one.

As she passes through Leh,river runners congregate to navigate her waters,ice-cold, clear and offering infinite variations to occupy all grades of enthusiasts.Options include a half day scenic run for amateurs on low waters from Phey along fast currents through canyons and along spectacular mountain views to Niemo, the confluence of the zanskar and Karakoram ranges.Or combine a scenic and white trip on the run from Niemo.Water-skiing on Dal and Nagin lakes is a popular sport and for those who are trying it for the first time ten-day water ski courses are available.Canoeing too may be attempted at the high altitudes lakes,while diving in the lakes has still to catch on.
