Accommodation in KASHMIR (Srinagar)

I was very lucky, because when I arrived in Srinagar from Leh, I knew nothing about it

place and I came across a local grandfather who promised cheap housing in a quiet place.

From experience, I know that it is not worth believing 100% in such promises in India.

This time I was very lucky. Grandfather named Sultan turned out to be hereditary

guide - in his house boat, I personally leafed through the books of the guests since the beginning of the century !!!

He invited me to live at his place, at the beginning it made me a little tense,

because in Srinagar, almost 100% of the population is Muslim, but after a day of communication with

I realized with his family that I can’t even imagine a better place. He knows absolutely

about everything that is interesting for a tourist in Kashmir (Srinagar). A few days later I

I compared the prices that the Sultan offered me with the local ones and..... I was shocked, then the numbers:


1. HOUSE BOT (house in a boat on the lake)

500ruria a day, what kind of money is this:

hot cold water, bath!! ! and shower, fan,

furniture (carpets, sofa, bed, chairs), refrigerator,

toilet, TV. If necessary, they will change daily

linens. A kitchen is available in the house.

2. ROOM IN THE HOUSE

250 rupees per day, up to 5 people can live in a room.

hot cold water, shower, toilet, TV.

You can negotiate with the owners and they will cook for VERY

CHEAP!! ! The place where the house is located is in a very quiet and

beautiful place in Srinagar. Internet is available within 5-7 minutes walk,

there are restaurants nearby, I can’t say anything about them, because. ate

along with the owners of the house. As I wrote above, this is a family of hereditary

professional guides, so looking for sights is not

necessary, they know about everything and can easily organize it, while

I have made sure more than once that the main thing for them is not money and a typical

there is no Indian rogue here. Unfortunately I stopped

only for 3 days and I didn't have time to see what they were

offered. As excursions, I was offered a trip to the mountains, it is possible

one day it is possible to go for a long time, riding a local boat (chic)

on the lakes, which are not measured here, also, one-day visit

local gardens, Kashmir fort, local floating market.... in short, not

transfer. You won't be bored with these hosts
