Imagine rolling on the water like a hamster in a ball, feeling the rush of adrenaline as you spin and glide on the surface of a lake. Sounds fun, right? Well, that’s precisely what water zorbing is all about.
And now, you can try this unique & exciting adventure sport at Dal Lake, the jewel of Kashmir. It's not just a place to admire the scenic beauty, enjoy the charming houseboats and shikaras anymore, but also to have some fun & frolic on the water.
This adventure sport lets you roll on the water inside a transparent, inflatable ball. You can experience the thrill of floating on the lake without getting wet.
How it works
Water zorbing is a simple and fun activity that anyone can enjoy. All you need to do is step inside a large, spherical zorb that has an air-tight seal. The zorb is then pushed into the water and you can start rolling. You can control the speed and direction of the zorb by shifting your weight or running inside it. You can also enjoy the view of the lake and the surrounding mountains from inside the zorb.
Where to find it
Water zorbing was previously available only at some tourist resorts in Sonamarg and Pahalgam. But now, thanks to a local entrepreneur, Sheikh Yamin, you can try it at Dal Lake as well. He has introduced this activity with the help of the Department of Tourism. He said that this is a fun activity that will help people relax and enjoy themselves. He also said that tourism has to be all-weather and that any tourism activity helps the tourism ecosystem.
Why you should try it
Water zorbing is a great way to spice up your visit to Dal Lake. It is a unique and exciting experience that you will not forget. It is also safe and suitable for people of all ages. You can try it alone or with your friends or family. You can also take pictures or videos of yourself inside the zorb and share them with your loved ones.

What else to remember
While water zorbing is a fun and harmless activity, it is important to remember that Dal Lake is a precious natural resource that needs to be conserved. Sheikh Yamin said that the prime emphasis should be laid on the cleanliness of the lake. He said that the lake will attract tourists only if it is clean and that it has to be a priority.
So, if you are looking for a new adventure in Kashmir, head to Dal Lake and zorb away your worries. We bet; you will have a blast rolling on the Dal!
