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.

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.

Jigar Palace Group of Houseboat

An Amazing experience of a House boat stay !!!!

Reviewed By Rbasker

We stayed for 1 night on our recent trip. This houseboat is probably the farthest among the houseboats and so when you get there, you literally have nobody else around you. The houseboat that we got to stay was very well designed and looked awesome. Altaf took excellent care right from the refreshing welcome drink of Kashimiri Khewa and was accessible throughout our stay. We kept calling him for some or the other thing late into the night and he was quite willing to help without any hesitancy at all point in time. The dinner is served after 8:30 PM and breakfast is served at 8:30 AM. It took us about 15 minutes on their speed boat to get back to the ghat. So need to factor these timings in your planning. The early morning view from the deck is super awesome with birds etc but I guess winters might be pretty cold here (Considering that you are staying in the lake with greenery all around). So it might be worthwhile to be better prepared with appropriate clothing.
