Mansar Lake is a lake located 62 km (39 mi) from the city of Jammu in Jammu and Kashmir, India. It is fringed by forest-covered hills, and is over a mile (1.6 km) in length and half-a-mile (0.80 km) in width. Surinsar-Mansar Lakes are designated as Ramsar Convention in November 2005. Mansar is primarily fed by surface run-off and partially by mineralised water through paddy fields. The lake supports CITES and IUCN redlisted Lissemys punctuata, Aspideretes gangeticus and Mansariella lacustris. The composite lake is high in micro nutrients for which it is an attractive habitat, breeding and nursery ground for migratory waterfolks like Fulica atra, Gallinula chloropus, Podiceps nigricollis, Aythya fuligula and various Anas species.

Surinsar Lake[2] is situated 42 km (26 mi) from Jammu city by road, surrounded by hills and dense forests, and has some mythological importance. Surinsar and Mansar Lakes are considered as twin lakes, as Mansar is located 9 km (5.6 mi) away from it. The Surinsar Mansar Wildlife Sanctuary is located in the midst of both lakes.[3]

The region is populated with abundant fauna, flora, and avifauna. A small island is at the middle of the lake.[4] This island is home to thousands of bats.[3] Due to some religious beliefs, swimming and boating were discouraged, but in recent times there has been extensive development, either in infrastructure or in boating. This has allowed for the opening of recreational options, such as a climbing wall, open theatre, baby and family parks, restaurants, etc. It is becoming the most sought destination of tourists in Jammu region and regularly there are thousands who are travelling to Surinsar Lake .
