BOAT RIDE

SHANGLOO HOUSEBOATS (Mahjong Group) has a fleet of taxi boats locally known as 'shikaras' for providing crossings to  guests to and from houseboats free of cost. These boats remain standby 24 hours in service of the guests. Guests can enjoy a boat ride on the Dal Lake that opens a window to a world rarely seen elsewhere on the planet. Dal is the epicenter of a unique culture that evolved on it for centuries. Cruising through the narrow channels you will find men and women tending their famous vegetable gardens. Not far from our houseboats there is a bustling market known as 'Old City’. Here you will find grocery shops, mutton shops, drug stores, shops selling vegetables and fresh fruits, and tailoring shops and saloons. A boat ride like this is an exhilarating experience that costs you some extra money. But how much you enjoy is far more than what you pay.
