Srinagar Houseboat
Houseboats in Dal lake and nageen lake.
The story of kashmiri houseboats:
There have been many versions to the origins of kashmiri houseboats. Starting from set up by a local pandit to an english man who wasn’t allowed to own land but built his floating home instead. What ever the stories, it can be safely assumed that houseboats become all the rage in the 20th century with each houseboat boasting of intricate and well planned floating accommodations. Over the years, it has provided travellers with one of the greatest water based tourist themes anywhere in the world.
Stay at a houseboat:
These all wooden houseboats are anchored to banks of two major lakes Dal & nageen. Dal lake houses plenty of houseboats and cater to all categories of visitors from budget to luxury. Nageen on the other hand houses more on the luxury side providing a pristine and exquisite setting to your stay.
All houseboats regardless of their categories provide convenient and high personalized services. They offer a unique and elegant style of living containing lavish rooms, balcony in front, sun-deck to serve you cocktails, dining room, pantry, each bedroom attached to separate well sanitized bathroom and are Novel type of accommodation outfitted with all modern amenities and comforts.
You can easily choose to spend more than 1 night in a houseboat without getting bored. Some of the best home cooked food is made available by local staff households who stay in the vicinity. You have shikaras who roam the calm waters visiting every houseboat presenting buyers with an array of local crafts, ewellery, flowers, seeds and soveniers.
We at SRUTI TRAVELS pride in giving you an opportunity to experience kashmir’s symbol of beauty and magnificience. The kashmiri houseboat will truly leave you with life long memories.
