Houseboat
Booking
SRINAGAR
"DAL LAKE" and "NAGIN LAKE"
Floating on a postcard lake in one of Kashmir's famous houseboats
is the way to see how this place earned the name, "The Venice
of the East". Water - powered peddlers sell everything from
saffron to paper mache deer to the houseboat door. Ride a Shikara
- a Kashmiri gondola - to the watery vegetable markets and see the
mountains mirrored in the lakes.
Nagin
Lake, Srinagar
INDIAN TRIBAL TOURS can directly book a fleet of houseboats on Dal
or Nagin Lake in Srinagar, Kashmir's capital. The houseboats are
grand with hand - carved furniture and rich Kashmiri carpets. A
houseboat boy is always on call and three meals are served daily
from a menu of western, Kashmiri or Indian cuisine. Luxury living
with the world's tallest mountains rising up at the back door.
