Background

Gil Sar is a lake located in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India. The lake is named after Moorhen which is called Gil in Kashmiri language. It is in a highly deteriorated condition due to encroachment. The lake is sometimes considered a part of the Khushal Sar lake but is separated from it by a narrow strait, which is spanned by a bridge known as Gil Kadal. The Gilsar lake is connected to the Nigeen lake via the Nallah Amir Khan.
