We take pride and pleasure in providing the finest of houseboats experiences blended with the expertise necessary to enjoy Kashmir to its fullest potential. Houseboats are unique in the world to Kashmir valley. For the visitor to Srinagar, staying in a houseboat is an out of world experience. The houseboat came into being during the British Era, when the Maharaja of Kashmir refused them permission to build on dry land. The resourceful Britishers took to the water, living in ornate houseboats. The style has hardly changed from the first houseboat built by Mr. Conard in 1888 right down to boats being built today and Since then the houseboat become mascots of Kashmir Tourism and gained a worldwide acclaim. If your dreams include a sojourn on a houseboat in Kashmir, Kingfishers darting between the blossoming lotus and snowcapped mountains lining the horizon and each day concluded by a sunset of copper and gold, then imagine yourself on River Jehlum. Three houseboats are moored to the island, each with its own porch facing north across the open water. The "Sweet Star" houseboat owned by the Pakhtoon family. Our Houseboats are categorized in the Deluxe category and each boat has an assorted number of three to four bedrooms with an attach bathroom. The houseboats also have a fine dining area, a lounge cum sitting room, a large front seated balcony, a sun deck, 24 hours power back up, clean water supply,Free Wifi internet and with a cuisine and service cultivated over many decades and handed down from one generation to the next.

Kashmiri warmth and charm on serene Nigeen lake

Reviewed By kellymadam

Comfortable and convivial, with stunning views of the Zabarwan range on Nigeen lake, this houseboat is a peaceful retreat in bustling Srinagar. I was travelling solo and visited in May when the city is in all its summer glory. Thanks to the reliable and thoughtful owner Manzoor who is always just a phone call away and arranged all my last minute requests - shikara rides, day trips to other valleys, airport transfers - I enjoyed the very best of Kashmir in a seamless manner. The room is clean, the food is tasty and the staff is discreet and attentive. I will be back.

Kings Paradise Houseboat

HB Value for Money, OK Experience. Be aware of Tour and Taxi business run by family members. They will loot you

Reviewed By 627akashd

House Boat is value for money and ok ok type, much like all the other house boats of Dal Lake. Food and heating system are also ok. Breakfast is in limited quantity and they refused to provide extra toast and tea when demanded. Houseboat is properly maintained with all the basic amenitied and gives you feel of vintage Kashmir. However owner and an old age servant who gives you Shikara rides and all the housekeeping services will try to sell you other services like tour operator and Taxi Services. They will try to gain your sympathy in the name of poverty and unemployment, this is where the real scam starts. Taxi is being run by the family member and he will loot you and ruin all your good experience of house boat. Do not take any other service from owner other than stay at houseboat

Wonderful experience at this Houseboat. The houseboat consists of 3 rooms with attached bathrooms, a dining room and a drawing room. Small deck at entry with sitting arrangements. Beautiful view of a large area of Dal lake and Mountains from the deck is really mesmerizing. Hospitality of owners brothers Rafi Bhai & Bilal Bhai is really special.

We tried Chicken Curry with Roti & Rice and it was awesome.

Dogstar Houseboat

Houseboat Dogstar in Srinagar at Dal lake is a renowned name in the houseboat industry in Srinagar. Houseboats in Srinagar offer a better stay option in the valley rather then staying at any Hotels of Srinagar as Houseboats of Kashmir remain open for tourists round the year.

Very Nice Houseboat with Fantastic Service

Reviewed By RichardK938

We stayed here when our booked houseboat driver failed to pick us up at the airport. The owner of Dog Star offered to accommodate us instead and provided a 3 day package with meals for a very reasonable price. He even added in tours of Srinagar, Sonamarg and Pahalgam and took us there himself then negotiated great horseback ride rates. He helped us with our shopping and our Dal lake boat ride and everything else we asked. the service was everything you could want. I highly recommend this houseboat.
