Dal Lake, 11 km from
Dharamsala, is in
Kangra District of
Himachal Pradesh. At an altitude of 1,775 m above the sea level and surrounded by deodar trees, it is a popular tourist spot. The lake is on the motorable road to Talnu and has a small
Shiva temple on its banks. Every September a fair is held on the banks of the Dal, which is attended by a large number of migrant
Gaddi folk, as well as people from other parts of the district.
