Here are 5 beautiful Kashmiri lakes that you must check out before your next trip

2. Wular Lake
Situated in the Bandipora district, Wular Lake is one of the largest freshwater lakes in Asia. This stunning lake, which covers 130 square kilometres, protects the Kashmir Valley from floods. The best time to visit this lake is during peak monsoon season when it looks even more beautiful.
