About New Sea Palace Houseboats

Dear traveler, we feel pleasure to present New Sea Palace Houseboats as a guide to many activities and tours that we offer in the valley of Kashmir and Ladakh (Little Tibet). Since 1925, this firm has been in the houseboat business, arranging numerous activities and has a very wide experience in guiding tourists safely as professionals. Kashmir's greatest attraction is the houseboat: life on the houseboat offers you homely atmosphere, modern amenities and your very own staff to cook delicious meals for you. Vendors glide past in shikaras offering a floating market of fruits and flowers and experience not to be missed. The New Sea Palace Houseboats are moored on the serene Golden Dal Lake abashed with Flower Gardens, 5 kms from Srinagar, the summer capital of Kashmir and 17 kms from the airport. We look forward to welcoming you with the garlands of long living flowers. Your host Mr Ali Mohammad Kashmir, the mental offspring of sage KASHYAPA has been extolled for his bewitching exuberance of the prowess of nature from time immemorial. NILAMAT PORANA, the most ancient extant chronicle of Kashmir, praises it as the land, "Wearing the springs, ponds and mountains bestow virtue." KALHANA calls it The abode of "learning, Palacial House, Saffron Fields, icy waters and grapes." His compatriot BILHANA pays glorious compliment to his own birthplace, the saffron and poetic talents are the progeny of the same mother that is Kashmir. In Persian lore it has been equated with "Paradise on Earth." Such lavish eulogies don't seem exaggeratedly unfounded when the physical eye is irresistibly arrested by lofty snowcapped virgin peaks, evergreen meadows embroidered with rainbow hued flora, majestic Chinars defying onslaughts of time, bubbling brooks with child like un-artificiality and sylvan expenses reverberating voice of silence.
