Company information

Hello, I am Fayaz. Our family have been traveling merchants, trading on routes from the Middle East, for centuries. Fishermen turned traders turned businessmen, each generation added to the network or ventured out into a new, often complimentary, industry. My father Gulam Rasool baktoo built this houseboat some fifty five years ago, fallen in love with Omar Khayyam’s poetry, he named the boat Omar khayam and since then we've been welcoming travellers.

Neighbourhood information

Kashmir the land of sufis, tucked away in middle of the mesmerising Northern Himalayas of India (60-70 min from Capital New Delhi) Be it bird spotting, sightseeing, trekking, handicraft shopping or classic lakeside relaxing, Kashmir offers something for everyone. With its extraordinary situation, Kashmir has long been a crossroads of cultures and goods. Be it as Ptolemeis' Kaspeiria, as the Hindus' drained lake or as the settlement of Israel's lost tribes, the valley has a rich history and folklore. Jesus is said to have sojourned at Yusmarg and Shiva is believed to have revealed the secret of life and eternity to Parvati in the Amarnath cave according to the legends. The nature and natural landscape of Kashmir allow to reconnect with environment. Even though Kashmir has been area of conflict from past three decades Kashmir has not lost its culture of being amazing hosts and have always cared about comfort and safety of the tourists especially female solo travellers and bloggers have written lots of stories about how safe they felt in Kashmir. Travelling to Kashmir is an experience to remember rather than only a travel story.
