A stay on a Kashmiri houseboat is more than just accommodation — it’s a lifestyle. From sipping Kahwa at sunrise to stargazing at night, here are the top 5 things you must do during your stay on Dal Lake or Nigeen Lake.
Glide across Dal Lake or Nigeen Lake in a traditional Shikara. Early mornings and sunsets offer magical views of floating gardens and local life.
Relax on your houseboat balcony with a hot cup of saffron-infused Kahwa while soaking in serene lake views.
The golden hues of sunrise and sunset reflecting on the calm waters make for unforgettable photography moments.
Feast on Rogan Josh, Yakhni, Gushtaba, and other delicacies — a true Kashmiri Wazwan experience on the water.
At night, step onto the deck and witness a starlit Kashmiri sky with cool breezes and the lake’s calm reflection.
Whether it’s sipping tea on the balcony, riding a Shikara through floating markets, or simply watching the stars, a houseboat stay in Kashmir will leave you with memories that last forever.
