That sounds like an amazing experience—enjoying tea on a houseboat at Dal Lake with the serene view of the surrounding mountains and shikaras gliding over the water. The calm waters of Dal Lake reflecting the sky and the colorful shikaras add to the charm of the moment. The houseboats themselves are often ornately carved, blending the traditional Kashmiri aesthetic with modern comforts.

Would you like me to create a visual representation of this peaceful scene for you?
