About
Kashmir Houseboats (Dal Lake)
The houseboats are generally made from local cedar-wood and
measure 24–38 metres (79–125 ft) in length and 3–6 metres
(9.8–20 ft) in width and are graded in a similar fashion to
hotels according to level of comfort. Many of them have
lavishly furnished rooms, with verandas and a terrace to serve
as a sun-deck or to serve evening cocktails. They are mainly
moored along the western periphery of the lake, close to the
lakeside boulevard in the vicinity of the Dal gate and on
small islands in the lake. They are anchored individually,
with interconnecting bridges providing access from one boat to
the other. The kitchen-boat is annexed to the main houseboat,
which also serves as residence of the boat keeper and his
family.
