Brief Information about houseboats in srinagar kashmir

houseboat ambassador in srinagar kashmir 

Houseboats in Srinagar Kashmir are a British invention. They came into life around 1880 – as a British solution to a land purchasing prohibition imposed on foreigners. The Maharaja of that time allowed foreigners to live on lakes and rivers only. The British took on the challenge of creating luxurious floating houses using the best handicrafts Kashmir could offer. Cedar is the wood of choice for boat construction. The rooms have wooden walls and carved ceilings, walnut furniture, Kashmir handcrafted rugs, embroidery & curtains.Ambassador Houseboat in srinagar kashmir is situated within the world famous Dal Lake. The Houseboat can be accessed through a five-minute Shikara ride from the Ghat No:- 7, situated on the right side of the Srinagar-Harwan road which runs along the bank of the lake. The houseboat is an architectural miracle blended with hospitality beyond compare that gives our valued guests a feel of being home even away from their homes. The room of the Ambassador Houseboat is adorned with exquisite pieces of walnut wood and with time they have been rendered more or less as artefacts that serve an evidence of our traditional hospitality we have been extendingto our valued guests from around the world.Houseboat is one of the few boats in the Dal Lake that has the facility of internet and wifi  for the comfort of our guests so that they stay in touch with their friends and family members back home whilst their stay. Though we're strong advocates of maintaining a quiet ambience in our boat, care has been taken to know about the happening around the world through a cable-connected colour television, should our guests wish to switch it on.
