y to
(1) Tourists to James and Kashmir have another attraction- a floating post office on the Dal
Lake in Srinaga, the first in the country. Floating Post Office, Dal Lake - claimed to be the
only one such post office in the world - is built on an intricately carved maroon house boat,
fastened on the westem edge on the Dal Lake
(2) This post office lets you avail of all the regular postal services available in the country while
being afloat. The scal used on everything posted from Floating Post Office is unique-along
with date and address, it bears the design of a boatman rowing a shikara on the Dal Lake. The
special features of this post office is that letters posted from here carry a special design which
has the picturesque scenery of Dal Lake and Srinagar city. These pictures reach whenever
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 aisted since British times. It was called Nehru
Pak 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 - anes serves as the office and the other a
small muscum 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 do you need a fan in this post office !
