I had an amazing stay at The Gateway Dal Lake Resort. The hospitality was top-notch, and the food was delicious at very reasonable prices. I loved the spacious room with a fantastic balcony view, perfect for enjoying the sunrise. My overall experience was delightful, with no issues during my three-day visit. However, I believe the best time to visit would ideally be December or April for the best weather.
