Encircled by thickly lush mountain extents and it is a well-known excursion spot. The excellence and normal quality of Surinsar Lake can be contrasted and the heavenliness of Dal Lake and Nagin Lake of Srinagar. Surinsar Lake and Mansar Lake are viewed as twin lakes; Mansar is found 30 km away from it. The Surinsar Mansar Wildlife Sanctuary is settled amidst both the lakes and supports 3 mammalian species and 15 avifauna species including crane. As per Hindu fanciful legends, the starting point of the lake is firmly connected with the amazing warrior of Mahabharat, Arjun. It is said to accept that Arjun shot a bolt into the Mansar and a spring spouted of the earth and now it is known as Surinsar Lake. The border of this lake is encircled by thick mangroves, approaching pine trees, and excellent slopes. An island arranged in this land is home to a large number of bats.
