Dal Lake Srinagar India
Dal Lake is unique in having hundreds of houseboats. Tourists are attracted to Srinagar by the charm of staying on a houseboat, which provides a unique experience of living on the water. Pleasant sounds of rolling waters welcome you in the morning, as you open your eyes after an all night sleep in your waterborne home. Houseboats form an indelible part of the scenery of the Dal Lake that are always ready to take tourists to a romantic and peaceful ride of the lake and soothe their nerves as the houseboat floats over the slightly rippling waters. They also offer some of the most exotic views of the splendid scenery of the Dal Lake. These houseboats are furnished in a grand style, with carved furniture and woolen carpets with intricate work on them. One can select from the array of houseboats according to one"s requirements. Houseboats vary in degree of luxury and have been accordingly graded by the Department of Tourism. A luxury houseboat, like a luxury hotel has fine furniture, good carpets and modern bathroom fittings, while the тЂ˜D categoryтЂ™ (the lowest category) of houseboats, like low-budget hotels, is spartanly furnished. The main idea behind the concept of a houseboat is the fact it provides a haven for those who like to spend a quite holiday, away from the noise and bustle of the cities.
