    Just visit this place. In case you are dithering, don't bother. You won't regret it.
    Firstly, the Houseboats (there are more than one) are exquisite. They are beautiful, amazingly carved and a celebration of the loquacious skills of the carvers of Kashmir. Secondly, you can request Janaab Hanji Yaseen Tuman to coordinate your trip to the Kashmir valley. He is…

    Kashmir – Nageen Lake
    A small quayside by the lake is where you find your shikara, a beautiful painted, canopied, flat-bottomed boat that is the ‘water taxi’ that takes to your home. What a way to approach Mascot One as the large spade paddle guides you through a large group of crested grebes,…

    Hi there, is there a direct access from road to the Mascot Houseboats or we have to take a shikara ride to reach the house boat? We are coming on 26th of March, from Srinagar Airport.
    Hi we recently visited and there is a back entrance. But you do need a very skilled driver as access is extremely narrow and confusing without the help of Google maps navigation. And then be prepared to walk across a field to reach the houseboat. Thanks
