If your dreams include a sojourn on a houseboat in Kashmir, Kingfishers darting between the blossoming lotus and snowcapped mountains lining the horizon and each day concluded by a sunset of copper and gold, then imagine yourself on River Jehlum. Three houseboats are moored to the island, each with its own porch facing north across the open water. The “Sweet Star“ houseboat owned by the Pakhtoon family.

For unsurpassed value and an unforgettable holiday, we invite you to relax as Kashmiri prince in the carefree atmosphere of the Sweet Star houseboats and enjoy the timeless majestic scenery of the Himalayas for yourself. If there is a paradise on earth, it is this, it is this, it is this. We look forward to share this paradise with you.More
