I am pleased to certify that Ahamdoo Karnawai, Boatman and Owner of the “GOLDEN FLEECE”, is worthy of high recommendation. My wife, along with another lady, has occupied this-boat for•three months of this summer and I myself was there for one month- Ahamdoo does the cooking, which is of a very high standard, and his conduct generally and control of the staff are admirable. The Boat itself is very comfortable, and I can safely recommend it to anyone wishing to holiday in Kashmir.
