Significance: Best Options
For Accommodation In Srinagar
houseboat is a unique
experience - a honeymooner's delight. Just stepping on board
transports one to a different world away from the hustle and
bustle and noise of the city. As soon as one get out on the lake
the traffic and confusion simply fades away. They are lined up
in colourful ranks in Dal Lake, across from the boulevard, or
along the Jhelum River. Those who want a little more isolation
and peace can also find them at Nagin Lake.
Origin
Houseboats originated in the Victorian era as a superbly British
solution to a tricky political problem. The British liked
Kashmir but the maharaja wouldn't allow them to buy land to
build houses on. So they had houseboats built and the style has
hardly changed from the first boat in 1888 right down to boats
being built today.
The houseboat could be carpeted and embellished like a 2 or 3
star hotel. Soothed by the sound of water lapping against the
hull, one can relax in the cosy comfort of the living room or
curl up with a book in the bedroom. The houseboat attendant
could cook up a mouthwatering Kashmiri meal or serve soups and
more soothing European meal - depending on the choice of the
customer.
In the early morning one can see ravens and hawks swooping on
the lake to catch insects and fish. Late in the afternoon the
garden boats, laden with produce from the floating gardens, will
glide by. Or the weed collector, with his boat, laden with the
heavy and wet weeds of the lake.
The Everlasting Beauty
The view also changes with the season although the magnificent
mountains of the Pir Panjal (also spelt as Panchal), with
glimpses of the great Himalayas, are a constant backdrop. In
winter the whole of this scene is covered with snow, with the
exception of the clear waters of the lake itself. And even the
lake freezes over in exceptionally cold winters.
