Can't seem to find single thing good about this place, except that from here you can go towards Tibetan Flag Temple area and it's amazing. Please don't litter while travelling anywhere. I've no idea why own Indian folks have littered over everywhere no matter where I go. And this place is no different than that. Might have been a lovely place once maybe when it might have been difficult for vehicles to reach here but as almost everything reaches here really easily, this place is completely ruined.

As a tourist, you don't want to visit your single minute. Before visiting thid place make sure dal lake has 'water' 🥲. If you are visiting in summer, you can skip this place for sure. No cleanliness. You can only take nice pictures.

This is a small rain fed lake in the McLeodganj area. The lake is beautiful with forest surroundings. The water level can get down in the summers, due to dry heat. But it replenishes in rainy season quickly since the area receives good amount of rainfall. The location is easily accessible by road. Not enough parking is available so it is advisable to park elsewhere and walk here. We visited this lake in winters after a night's snowfall and remember that it was completely frozen. Highly recommended.

I recently visited Dal Lake in Mcleodganj, hoping for a serene and picturesque experience. Unfortunately, my visit turned out to be quite disappointing due to various factors that have significantly affected the natural beauty and cleanliness of the lake. One major concern is the excessive construction in and around the lake area. It appears that in an attempt to make the lake more tourist-friendly, numerous structures have been built, resulting in the lake becoming dry and filled with mud and scum. The water, which once used to reflect the surrounding landscape, has been replaced by an unpleasant sight. The foul smell emanating from the lake only adds to the overall disappointment. Another issue I encountered during my visit was the prevalence of litter left behind by tourists. It was disheartening to see trash scattered throughout the area, including plastic bottles, food wrappers, and other waste. This not only ruins the natural beauty but also poses a threat to the ecosystem and the wildlife that inhabits the lake. Furthermore, the presence of animals on the streets was another concern. While I understand that Mcleodganj is home to many stray animals, the lack of proper waste management and cleanliness seems to have contributed to the problem of animal waste. I observed animal droppings covering the streets, making it an unpleasant and unhygienic experience for visitors. Despite these issues, it is important to note that Dal Lake still possesses some remnants of its former charm. The surrounding landscape is picturesque, and the nearby hills offer stunning views. However, the current state of the lake and its surroundings greatly diminishes the overall experience for visitors. I sincerely hope that the authorities take immediate action to address these concerns and restore the natural beauty of Dal Lake. It is essential to prioritize environmental conservation, cleanliness, and waste management to ensure that this iconic tourist spot can be enjoyed by future generations.

Beautiful place to visit in Naddi. The lake will have very little water in summer. But it is full during rainy season. There is a park around lake and ample space to seat or walk around.

simple lake no fun activities is there i recommended only five to ten minute spend there

I visited Dal lake on Dec 25 ...Currently Lake condition is not good( water condition is bad & area is not maintained) If you hoping for boating or any other activity related to water avoid this place visit Of you have extra time then only plan to visit

The Dal lake is without water in summer, is not a good sight to see.. The concerned should find ways to divert so much of available mountain water..N keep this important tourist place alive... There is a temple to visit at this place.

Clan and calm place.. tourist attractions points.. awesome weather and natural beauty around... 🤗🥰🥰🥰

Nice place to visit. The pine trees give this place a picturesque view also which makes this place look very beautiful. But the Government has to do something to revive the lake. The lake is having mud & it looks like a daldal. The government should look into the matter of cleanliness and reviving of this lake to make it more beautiful ❤️

This place is lush green and surrounded by pine trees. Quite place to walk. You can spend few hours here and can have maggie and momos with hot tea.

Average viewpoint which needs cleaning and maintenance. Great scenic beauty in terms of greenery.

It’s the main tourist attraction in the area which is situated nearby the tcv school.many tourists visit this place .during winter season the surrounding becomes filled with snow.usually this place is not crowded. It has good views so you get amazing photos.

Gorgeous lake at the base of a mountain, with stunning views. Lake itself is a bit dirty, but has fish. Friendly locals and snacks, nice spot to stop and chill.
