FAQs
Light woolens are sufficient during summers. But in winters, we suggest you to carry thick woolens as the temperatures may go below the freezing point.
During summers, heaters are not required in the houseboat. However, hot water bottles can be provided on request. Fans are available.
Though Kashmir is a year round destination, summers and monsoons are considered to be the best seasons to visit Kashmir. It is so because Sonamarg is open for general public only between March - September.
The Gondola ride in Gulmarg, water sports at Ganderbal in Sonamarg, and river rafting in the Lidder River at Pahalgam are the optional tours that must not be missed on this trip.
You can expect frequent power cuts on the houseboats. Also, the housekeeping is not available at all hours. Since the food as to be brought from outside, timings of all meals are also fixed to prevent the food from getting cold.
