The Char Chinar Island in the Dal Lake - This island like garden in the midst of the Dal Lake has its own historical importance. Whenever the king and the Queen had a quarrel, the Queen used to shift her residence temporarily to this Garden in a House boat [ this House boat is a full fledged House with the then amenities, and well decorated with the help of wood and wood carvings, all through ]. The King then used to come later to calm down his Queen, stay together for a day or two and then shift back to the Raj Mahal. There are velvet touch dark red/maroon flowers, in the center that attracts our attention. The Four Chinar trees are said to be around 350/400 years old [?]. A very picturesque garden in Srinagar, worth visiting.
