World's only floating post office on Dal Lake delivering letters to people living on water

We all have heard of floating gardens, Islands and Houseboats. But Kashmir's Famous Dal Lake has a floating Post office. It's the only floating post office in the whole world. 

This two-centuries-old floating post office was started in the British era and still continues to deliver letters and couriers to the people living on the lake. The delivery of the post is done by a postman while travelling in a shikara.
