The Kashmir houseboats are associated closely with the valley's culture and traditions. Dating back to the British rule, houseboats became home to these people after they were denied land grants in the state. A brilliant idea that started from constructing small boats was later revolutionized with transforming these boats into spacious modern styled floating hotels.

Houseboats are all made of the finest cedar wood that follows with intricate walnut woodcarvings, paneled walls, and tiled baths.

Muzaffar recommends
1. Sonamarg - Located on the Srinagar-Ladakh Highway, around two and a half hours drive northeast of Srinagar, scenic Sonamarg ("Meadow of Gold") is famous for its Thajiwas Glacier. What's remarkable about this glacier is how accessible it is. From the highway, you can hike up to the glacier and back in around five hours. If you don't have so much time to spare, it's possible to ride a pony instead, or take a taxi part of the way there and walk. It is costly though. Pony owners will charge at least 600 rupees per person for a return trip. Do bargain hard. Scenes of many Bollywood movies have been filmed in the area, and you won't have to try very hard to feel like you're in one!

2. Gulmarg - Gulmarg ("Meadow of Flowers"), India's version of a ski resort, is situated less than two hours drive east of Srinagar. The season runs from mid December to mid March. If you're not into skiing, you may still want to let the gondola whisk you more than 13,000 feet up Mount Apharwat for outstanding views. Apparently, it's the world's highest cable car. And, it's very popular, so you should buy your tickets online to avoid a long queues. Unfortunately, you'll still have to wait to board it though.

3. Pahalgam - Pahalgam, the "Valley of Shepherds", is around three hours drive from Srinagar and is near the departure point for pilgrims going on the Amarnath Yatra (avoid visiting during July as it will be very busy then). Visitors commonly head to Pahalgam's Betaab Valley (the Bollywood movie "Betaab" was shot there), with its fresh flowing Lidder River and surrounding snow-capped hills. However, what you need to be aware of, is that you'll only be allowed to take your vehicle up to a certain point to reach the Valley. After that, you'll need to hire a prepaid vehicle provided by the local transport association, or walk.

4. Charar-i-Sharief and Yousmarg - Yousmarg, a sprawling meadow around two hours drive southwest of Srinagar, is refreshingly underdeveloped (only a couple of restaurants are there). The highlight is the Doodh Ganga river, which is reached by a picturesque 30 minute walk along a forested trail down a hill. Alternatively, it's possible to take a pony. The pony owners will insist you do so and they are quite annoying (don't give into them though if you do want to walk). On the way to Yousmarg you'll pass numerous apple trees (if you spot anyone selling apples on the roadside, get some as they're delicious!) as well the town of Charar-i-Sharief. It's worth stopping there as it's home to one of the most holy Sufi Muslim shrines in India and some of the biggest halwa parathas you'll ever see!

5. Sinthan Top - Sinthan Top is becoming a sought after alternative to the other, often crowded, tourist places in Kashmir. Interest in it has grown since construction of the Kokernag-Sinthan Top-Kishtwar Road, connecting Kashmir with Jammu, began. It's yet to be developed though, so there's an absence of facilities for tourists. Hence, it's a good idea to stop in Daksum on the way. The drive from Srinagar to Sinthan Top takes around two and a half hours. It's possible to stay in Daksum, or Kokernag where there are more options. These are excellent places to go trekking and exploring the great outdoors.
