Jammu and Kashmir is a home to several valleys. Some major tourist attractions are
Mughal gardens Gulmarg Patnitop Manesar Jammu and Kashmir has another attraction - a
floating post office on the Dal Lake in Srinagar, the first in the country. "Floating Post Office, Dal
Lake-dalmed to be the only one such post office in the world - is built on an intricately carved
maroon houseboat fastened on the western edge of the Dal Lake. (2) This post office lets you
avail of all the regular postal services available in the country while being afloat. The seal used on
everything posted from Floating Post Office is unique - along with the date and address, it bears
the design of a boatman rowing a shikara on the Dal Lake. The special feature of this post office is
that letters posted from here camy a special design which has the picturesque scenery of Dal Lake
and Srinagar city. These pictures reach wherever these letters are posted to and hence promote
Kashmir as a tourist destination across the world. (3) This is actually a heritage post office that has
existed since British times. It was called Nehru Park Post Office before 2011. But then the chief
postmaster John Samuel renamed it as "Floating Post Office. (4) The post office's houseboat has
two small rooms - one serves as the office and the other a small museum that traces the philatelic
history of the state postal department. It has a shop that sells postage stamps and other products.
(5) But for the locals, Floating Post office is more than an object of fascination. 1-2 crore is
deposited per month in Floating Post Office by communities living in and around the Dal Lake. The
lake has several islets that are home to more than 50,000 people. (6) The greatest fear is the
recurrence of 2014 like floods in which the houseboat had gone for a toss uncontrollably pushed
by the flood. Rescue teams had to anchor it using special mechanism in a nearby highland. Then it
was brought back on the Dal after the water receded. The biggest boon is that at no time of the
year you need a fan in this post office.​
