The story
Some places earn their clichés. A shikara across Dal Lake at sunrise, a night on a walnut-wood houseboat, Gulmarg's gondola rising over meadows, Betaab Valley doing its movie-set thing at Pahalgam.
This is the classic circuit run properly: private cars, fixed pony rates, and a captain who knows which garden is empty at which hour.

Cried on the shikara
The houseboat night is worth the whole package. Our captain handled everything invisible-ly.
