The waters of the lake say something if only you can listen
carefully enough. The houseboats floating on the surface provide you an
opportunity for just that. These Shabnam Group of Houseboats which are
residences on the water surface are made up of cedar wood and ooze elegance
from every part of it.
Shabnam Group of Houseboats
The Shabnam Group of Houseboats has gained a reputation for being a tourist destination in themselves for anyone who visits the beautiful state of Jammu and Kashmir. These houseboats have a conventional attraction of their own which makes them stand out and are ideal for those who look for a soothing and calm holiday in the Kashmir Tour Package.
A Tradition Unique to
Kashmir
Living in the houseboats is a tradition that is unique to
Kashmir and started with the earlier British residents of Kashmir who were
forbidden by the Maharaja of Kashmir to own land. The British did the next best
thing and built their residences on water. Today these houseboats range from
unassuming floating homes to palatial structures on water surfaces that will
stun you with admiration.
More than a House on
the Boats
All these houseboats of the Shabnam Group are built by hand
and provide all the facilities and amenities that you as a modern-day traveler
could possibly look for. Each of these is a unique experience in itself. There
are spacious boats that are multi-bedroom as well as boats that have a cozy bedroom ideal for a couple. There are attached bathrooms with the bedrooms as
well as electricity and modern plumbing all provided in a manner so as to make
you feel as comfortable as is possible in other star hotels. The interiors are
intricate and the rooftops provide you with a facility to view the grand
Himalayas in all their splendor as well as bathe in the fresh air.
Residences in
Paradise
It is said that if there is paradise on earth, it is in
Kashmir. Explore the paradise during the day and come back to the comfort of
houseboats in the night. That way you would be able to extract the maximum out
of your vacations in Kashmir. There
are many lakes in the city of Srinagar along with the river Jhelum thereby
providing ample opportunities for houseboat cruises.
Types of Houseboats
You can find a wide variety of houseboats and you can easily
find the one that suits your requirements. The houseboats that are grand in
their looks, as well as construction, are called Firdaus. The Khushal houseboat
is comparatively smaller whereas Nishat and Khushdil are most popular among honeymooners as they provide you with complete privacy and comfort.
Emphasis on Service
Staying in the Shabnam Group of Houseboats is especially apt
for those who are on a honeymoon. The service you are provided by the Shabnam
Group is far more intimate than what you would otherwise enjoy at a star hotel.
Wander in the Waters
In case you want to just wander in the lake, like you do in
your home, you can board a shikara and go to the market, or just look around
and enjoy your vacation to the fullest.
