All rooms have ceiling fans as temperatures in the summer can reach 38 degrees. In the Spring temperatures average anything from the teens to the twenties and low thirties.

The long corridor stretches the length of the 150 foot long boat. There is a large dinning room ( not pictured) and the water lilies surround the boat in the summer months.

Kashmiri cuisine is famous for its delicate flavours and use of fresh ingredients readily available in the fertile valley.

The Young May Flower is a perfect location for ornithologists looking to see a diverse range of resident and migratory birds. India's best-known ornithologist Salim Ali once called Kashmir "a heaven on earth for migratory birds." Aquatic birds often spotted from the houseboat include pied kingfishers, pheasant-tailed jacanas and Indian pond herons. Look to the skies and you may spot long-tailed minivets, black kites and long-legged buzzards.
