Houseboats on the "Nagin Lake"
and "Dal Lake" providing all the modern amenities and water sports are the
world famous Kashmiri's used to call the houseboats "boat of Kennath Sahib".
Kashmiri's being gifted with a sense of art and design have made the
interiors of the houseboat most beautiful and also comfortable for the
visitors. The houseboats are decorated with hand - carved
furniture and rich Kashmiri carpets.
Life on the lakes, as witnessed from the
confines of a Shikara - a canopied small kashmiri gondola, is unique. It is possible to book a Shikara for the
whole day and sightsee Nishat Garden, Nasim Bagh, Hazratbal Mosque, Pathar
Masjid and Shah Hamdan's Shrine, having a picnic lunch in the boat.
The lakes and canals also give the visitor glimpses of history, bird
life and unspoilt loveliness of exotic landscapes of "The Venice of the
East" - Kashmir. |
