Kashmir -
The Happy Valley, Super Switzerland of Asia, Mughal Emperor's dream
garden and Emerald amongst the white pearls of the Himalaya are only
a few of the many appellations given to the valley of Kashmir, over
the countries. The Mughal king Jehangir, moved to such an ecstasy by
the beauty of Kashmir exclaimed, “if there is a Paradise on earth,
it is here, it is here, it is here”. He was doubtlessly, enthralled
by the valley’s lust greenery, its abundance of flowers and fruits,
its shimmering springs and translucent lakes. Unlike the other
Himalayan regions, Kashmir has been an traveler’s paradise and
holiday resort for a long time, probably one of the oldest on the
earth.

Beauty of Kashmir always attracted people from all over the world
who came as visitors but didn't want to return their home extending
their visits and ultimately giving up wanted to live their life here
after. These people especially British were not allowed to build
houses to live in Kashmir as the Maharajas (The Kings) didn't permit
it. This gave rise to advent of Houseboats or floating Houses. As
British were given to comforts and modern ways of living they
designed these Houseboats with every luxury of well-built house like
attached baths, Dinning rooms, Drawing rooms, Pantry , Sun Deck Etc.

Used in those days by only their owners and their friends, the
houseboats and Kashmir's wonderful climate were both an escape from
the heat of the plains and welcome respite from the rigors of life
in Delhi. Over the years, the houseboats have become more and more
elaborate and luxurious in response to market demands, to reach
their present heights of luxury.
