First Floating post office

First Floating Post Office


While we are flirtering with our closed friends, I came to know about this floating Post office.

Here we are going to the coolest place in India. Many of us know Srinagar, the beautiful city which is also the capital of Kashmir for many scenic destinations such as Mughal Gardens, Chashma Shahi, Nishat Bagh etc. but very few of us would be aware of the floating post office in Srinagar. Yes, this is a post office that floats on water! Nowadays also it is running successfully.

                                    Most of us very well known about a lot of house boats Dal lake. From there is one of this one of the largest boat house is having post office. This beautiful floating post office is flating on turquoise water.

                                    This post office is a heritage post office and it is said to have existed since the British times. After independence it was called as Nehru Park post until 2011 when its name was changed by John Samuel who was the chief Post Master in those times.

Many of tourists row to the floating house boat to send post cards all around the world. The main attraction of sending the post card from here is that your mail goes with a special a special design that bears the beauty of the Dal Lake as well as Srinagar
