Wullar is perhaps the largest fresh-water lake of Asia. Sweet damsels steering at one end of tiny and light boats, with fishermen holding aiming spears in their right hands, and standing with eyes fixed on the water, at the other end of the boats, ready to strike at an underwater swimming fish, are lovely sights seen here and there. The alert and almost naked bodies of these fishermen, along with the boats, and the paddling damsels, are clearly reflected on the calm surface of the lake. These constitute picturesque scenes for a Camera-man especially. The fishermen, now and then, bring their boats close to the boats of the excursionists to sell their fresh catch, which forms a welcome addition to the menus of these holidaying people.
Outings are usual to hundreds of other scenic places, spread all over the valley.
These places are mostly maintained by Government and Public Bodies. These well-kept places include Public gardens, with blooming colourful beds of flowers of the season, lush green lawns and beautiful cascades. Some have fountains playing therein and also have sheltered picnic spots. Between mountains or hills there are small beautiful valleys, meadows and glens, through which clearice-cold rivers and streams rush, playing music on boulder laden beds. Fishing of Brown and Rainbow Trout and also Mahasol , is an additional attraction for excursion to these places.
