Houseboat
Carved cedar boats moored on Dal and Nigeen, with private decks opening straight onto the water.
Sartaj’s take — Book one or two nights, not five. The magic is real, but everything ashore needs a shikara.

The things travellers ask us most before booking a bed in Kashmir — answered straight, by people who live here.
Do both. A houseboat is the experience but limits your mobility after dark, while a hotel is far easier on sightseeing days. One or two nights on the water followed by the rest on land suits most itineraries, and it is what we book for our own families.
