Staying in a traditional houseboat on Dal Lake provides a unique opportunity to experience Kashmiri hospitality while enjoying stunning sunrise and sunset views over the water.

The lake is surrounded by several renowned Mughal gardens, including Nishat Bagh, Shalimar Bagh, and Chashme Shahi, making it a perfect destination for sightseeing and photography.
