Gurkha Houseboats, Srinagar
The Gurkha Houseboats at Nagin Lake are an epitome of old world charm and luxury. Although comparatively new, they retain the best Victorian qualities of comfort and service, with modern facilities having been incorporated. Few places in the world have so often been described as paradise. Travellers are enchanted with this fairy tale land of mirror-like lakes, tumbling rivers and verdant meadows, set at the foot of the mighty Himalayas.
