1.Tourists to Jammu and Kashmir have another attraction _ a floating post office on

claimed 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 carry a special design which has the picturesque scenery of Dal

Lake and Srinagar city. These pictures reach where ever 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 is 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 local, 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 flood in which the house boat has

gone for a toss uncontrollably pushed by the flood. Rescue Team had to anchor it

need a fan in this post office!
