A Woman’s Steer to an Adventurous Houseboat Holiday Tour

For every woman, there is a great deal of planning and packing involved in every small or big trip similarly a trip to houseboat involves a lot of excitement and planning.  The houseboats in Kashmir are fairly luxurious and are nothing compared to a general one you see. Complete with an ornate dining table and bed rooms that can beat a hotel.

It is the simplicity of the space balanced with the underlying grandeur that will leave you impressed. Since these boats are stationery, you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Do not miss an opportunity to enjoy a moonlit walk on the deck out front or wake up to boats selling freshly cut flowers.

If you are staying in one of the luxury houseboats in Kashmir you have nothing to worry about as most emergency items will be easily available. However, it is never bad to be prepared about some important things.  Here is a list of all the things you should have along with you-

·         The Palatable

If you are travelling with a fussy child or spouse who is very particular about the food he eats, try and have some ready to eat food packets or snacks in hand. For some midnight cravings and such get difficult to satisfy. Finding vegetarian food in Kashmir too can be a challenge if you do not know where to look. .

·         The Clothing

 The climate will be extremely cold.  Have tonnes of warm clothes packed as they do not dry easily.

·         The Medicine Kit

Carry all the basic medicines along with a first aid kit when here.

Lastly remember to equip yourself with a portable charger and batteries if possible. The electricity is often unpredictable so do not rely on charging your batteries for the camera all the time. 

Summary:

Kashmir is a beautiful destination that can only be enhanced with such an experience. With some simple packing tips, you can make the most out of your trip here.
