Dhonga in Kashmir is a smaller version of house boats (which are fixed and used as hotels in water mostly in Dal Lake) which is mobile and used for travelling of Groups within Dal Lake. I have fond memories of it, as it is mostly used for local excursion of schools. My father being a teacher would take me along at least twice in an year during his school excursions. It involved travelling in dhonga two to three hours each way, spending some time in a Moghul Garden (Nishat, Shalimar), all meals including breakfast, lunch and evening tea were cooked and served in the dhonga. A really enjoyable experience.
