Khushal Sar

Khushal Sar (Urdu pronunciation: [xʊʃɦɑːl səɾ] ; Kashmiri pronunciation: [xɔʃhaːl sar]) is a lake located in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India.

It is in a highly deteriorated condition and has been encroached upon at many places with illegal construction and landfilling.

[1] The lake once stretched from Zoonimar up to the Aali Masjid but now it is considerably reduced.

Another smaller lake, known as Gilsar, is connected to the Khushal Sar via a narrow strait, which is spanned by a bridge known as Gil Kadal.

After the filling up of the Mar Canal, the condition of the lake deteriorated further.
