About Us
Read MoreFew hospitality stories in the world trace their origins to the dawn of modern tourism. Mascot Houseboats is one such rare legacy.A fifth-generation enterprise led today by Sons of Mr. Azim Tuman, Mascot Houseboats represents over a century of refined Kashmiri hospitality. The Tuman family were among the earliest pioneers of tourism in Kashmir, building their own ornately carved houseboats in the early 19th century — long before the region became a celebrated global destination.When European travellers and British explorers first arrived in Kashmir, captivated by its dramatic landscapes and serene lakes, the Tuman family welcomed them with handcrafted floating residences unlike anything seen before. These houseboats quickly became symbols of elegance and exclusivity, earning written testimonials dating back to the 1880s — many from guests who returned year after year, forming lasting family bonds that spanned generations.Kashmir, famously described as “Heaven on Earth” by the revered Sufi poet Amir Khusro, found in Mascot Houseboats a hospitality tradition worthy of its beauty.
