Manasbal Lake - History details

At Safapora (Ganderbal), Manasbal is Kashmir’s deepest freshwater lake (~13 m). Encircled by Kondabal, Jarokbal and Nesbal villages, it’s praised as the ‘supreme gem of Kashmir lakes’. Lotus carpets peak in July–August, while the Mughal Jaroka Bagh built by Empress Nur Jahan overlooks its waters. Birding is excellent; Srinagar lies about 30 km away.
