In a bid to boost tourism in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, the Jammu and Kashmir Tourism Development Corporation (JKTDC) launched the much anticipated 80-seater cruise liner service on Dal Lake. The cruise is furnished with various facilities including fine dining, with views of the surrounding mountains reflecting over the pristine waters of the lake. The cruise can take reservations for various social events such as weddings and reunions. This latest foray by the tourism department will be an added tourist attraction along with the lake's floating ATM, traditional shikaras and the valley's tallest Indian flag at the site.
