Houseboat Jigar Palace

We booked this place after seiving through the reviews of many houseboats. We weren't expecting a lot but what we received was quite extraordinary. Located in the middle of the lake, surrounded by lotuses and water lilies this place was close to the kashmir we would like to experience. Over that the warm reception by bashir ji added to the charm of this place. The food was cooked in the simplest of kashmiri ways and tasted amazing. Also, to reach this place we had to waddle through many lakes which added to our excitement. In all we started with a lot of apprehension and left with our hearts full of happiness and respect for the place and the people there. It was a serene experience.

I was a bit sceptical about staying in a houseboat( first time stay) so had booked it just for one night but upon arriving at Jigar Palace houseboat all my fears about staying in a houseboat were gone - the houseboat was pretty neat and clean with well equipped rooms( as per houseboat standards) and the views were amazing😍 If you want to enjoy your stay in a peaceful, quiet place then this is one of the best houseboat to choose. The houseboat is managed by 3 people and they are very friendly, helpful and kind. They ensured that our stay was pleasant and we did not face any issues at all.

If you are coming to kashmir do prefer to stay in a house boat like jigar. This will give you a different experience

Good place to stay for 2-3 days, good staff especially Imtiaz who goes the extra mile to make your stay extremely comfortable. Being a houseboat you cannot expect normal Houseboat Jigar Palace type facilities but overall, it's a great experience. The view from the houseboat is mesmerising to say the least.

Great experience staying at Hotel Jigar. Rooms are big & luxurious, no less than any 5 star & the staff makes it even better. Beautiful property, just 5 minutes walk from the Dal Lake and Mughal Gardens. Nice houseboats near to gardens and Dal lake. Rooms are very beautiful. Amazing food, very nice and excellent staff.

Room was clean, staff was good and food quality was ok in all nice experience

I have visited the valley many times and I have stayed in many houseboats but Jiger palace houseboat is the best ever I have stayed in. The staff there is very welcoming and helpful, they treat you like a family there. The food is great, no comments on the location because it's in the middle of dal lake need I say more. I will give 5 stars for the cleanness of the houseboat. This is the houseboat which can provide you shikara crossing at anytime of the night. I recommend this houseboat to everybody. I would like to thank makemytrip for making this visit to the valley so convenient.
