Houseboats in Kashmir
"Like that of hotels, the houseboats are run in economy and luxury grades, comparatively al suitable rates. Each houseboat is having the capacity of two to five bedrooms, adjoining bathrooms, a drawing room, a pantry, the upper deck, with a separate kitchen boat, partly occupied by the staff (family). Grade one houseboats favourably compete with any of the fine hotels on land so far as furniture, fixtures and requirements are concerned. Houseboats are managed by joint families who have wide experience in catering menus of both Eastern and Western styles. Famed owners also arrange for trekking, site-seeing and mountaineering and other activities of the visitors in the summer. But these subsidiary vocations of the boatsmen have been snatched by the upstart businessmen. In appreciation of their services, the houseboat owners possess testimonials written for them by eminent visitors and tourists since 1880 when tourist trade was beyond the imagination of those who have come up to exterminate the houseboat community from their traditional business."

"Living on water is traditional in Kashmir and without having that opportunity, at least once, the visit (to Kashmir) remains incomplete, for missing the fascinating charms, offered nowhere in the world. In the peaceful aquatic surroundings, detached from the usual frenzy of city life, the sight revels at glowing reflections of the horizon, intercepted by the shimmering moonshine over the surface of water, facing a fragrant breeze; while as the mind remains bewitched by a tiny amusing kingfisher in brilliant plumage, restlessly darting and diving deep for its next victim. At leisurely hours cruising by a Gandola type Shikara fetch a delightful scene of floating gardens dotted by smiling lotus and blooming lilies, wherein the serenity of backwaters, multi-species of colourful birds, in wooing and wobbling excitement, recite hymns to the glory of the Creator."
