Modern matresses, blankets, pillows and linen are self-evident.

The seperate dining room and the spacious lounge are beautifully furnished and well decorated. All furnitures on the boat are made of cedar – and walnutwood. The beautiful kashmiri handmade carpets bear witness to the craftmenship of the local carpet weavers.

Our houseboat has a cook and a care taker who works for you during your entire stay. The refrigerator in the dining room is always stocked with drinking water.

Location

The beautiful Dal Lake.

Dal Lake is one of the most beautiful places on this planet.

The Dal Lake is 8 km long, 4 km wide and spreads over a total of 26 square kilometer.
The maximum depth in the south-west of the lake is 12m.

The lake is fed by spring water and water from mountain lakes.
The shores of Dal Lake are grown over with the majestic Chinar-Trees.

Sparkling water, lotos and water lillies as far as your eyes can reach, and floating gardens, where the most friendly inhabitants grow their vegetables.

Kashmir, with its tremendous views on the Himalayan Mountains is often pronounced as the Crown of India, Paradise on Earth.

Dal-Lake is a labyrinth of water-ways and channels, like Venice in Italy. Romantic and quiet. Vegetable gardens and tiny little islands are to be found everywhere.

The house-boats appear like Noah’s Ark in biblical times and the mind-calming green of the vegetation is a great pleasure for every visitor and a wonderful place to live, for all different kinds of birds.

As soon as you enter one of the shikaras – the paddle-boats that are used as water-taxis – you immediately forget all hustle of modern life and relax in the slowed tempo of the fascinating and charming water-world.

The nights on Dal Lake are quiet and tapid. If there is something to be heard at night, it could be the sound of the heartshaped paddels, dipping into the water.

Srinagar has more than a million inhabitants, but you can not feel the bustle
of this big city on the lake.

Destinations: Airport: 15km - Gulmarg: 60km - Sonamarg: 80km
Pahalgam: 100km - Jammu: 300km - Leh/Ladakh: 400km
