5kms out of McLeod Ganj is the small and picturesque Dal Lake. Himachal Pradesh lays boast to several lakes for curious travellers. From the bus station head along the flat Mall Road (one of only two relatively flat routes in the area) which heads West out of town. At the T junction at the end of the road, take a right, and head up the road past the Tibetan Children's´ Village. Situated at 1860m there is a walking path around the lake. There is a Hindu temple on route and you can walk around the lake in 20 minutes. There are a series of paths that can be taken through the surrounding forest. Paddle boats are available for romantics or just some plain silliness.
