I was attracted to Srinagar by the charm of staying on a houseboat, which provides the unique experience of living on the water in a spanielled elegant bedroom, with all the conveniences of a luxury hotel, Houseboat Sweetstar is like a luxury hotel, has fine furniture, good carpets and modern bathroom fittings. It provides a balcony in the front, a lounge, dining room and bedrooms with attached bathrooms. Some time staying in a houseboat could give you the feeling of being trapped in the water as you are dependent on shikara all the time to come to the bank. But Houseboat Sweet star is directly is accessible from the banks which sets you absolutely free.
