Great houseboat experience in srinagar. One of the simplest houseboats from outside but super nice inside. Host is also super nice. Really enjoyed the stay and shikara ride.

Book it!

I recently had the pleasure of staying on a houseboat in Srinagar, and it was an unforgettable experience. Here’s a detailed review of my stay: **Location: ★★★★★ (5/5)** The houseboat is moored on the serene Dal Lake, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the tranquil waters. The location is perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse themselves in nature's beauty. Waking up to the sunrise over the lake is truly magical. **Ambiance and Decor: ★★★★☆ (4/5)** The houseboat itself is beautifully crafted with traditional Kashmiri woodwork and intricate carvings, exuding a rich cultural heritage. The decor inside the boat is elegant, with comfortable furniture and cozy nooks to relax and enjoy the view. The only downside was that some areas showed signs of aging and could use a bit of maintenance. **Service: ★★★★☆ (4/5)** The service was warm and hospitable, with the staff going out of their way to make our stay comfortable. They were attentive and responsive to our needs, whether it was arranging a shikara ride, providing local travel tips, or serving delicious meals. However, there were occasional delays in service, likely due to the unique setting. **Amenities: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)** Given the unique nature of a houseboat, the amenities are more basic compared to a traditional hotel. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, but the bathroom facilities could be improved for a more comfortable experience. **Food: ★★★★★ (5/5)** The food was one of the highlights of our stay. We enjoyed authentic Kashmiri cuisine prepared fresh daily. The flavors were rich and the portions generous. Dining on the deck with a view of the lake made each meal special. Special dietary requests were also accommodated with care. **Activities: ★★★★☆ (4/5)** The houseboat stay included opportunities for various activities such as shikara rides, which were a delightful way to explore the lake and its floating gardens. We also enjoyed visiting nearby Mughal gardens and taking a day trip to Gulmarg. However, entertainment options on the boat itself were limited. **Overall Experience: ★★★★☆ (4/5)** Staying on a houseboat in Srinagar is a unique and memorable experience that offers a peaceful retreat amidst stunning natural beauty. While there are some areas that could benefit from improvement, the overall charm, hospitality, and cultural immersion make it a worthwhile stay. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and relaxing getaway in kashmir

I found this houseboat through make my trip. I emphasized on specially on the location of the houseboat rather the reviews and it totally worth the searching. The houseboat is beautifully located in the middle of the lake and just 3 minute boat ride from ghat no. 9. The manager faiz bhai took great care of us and the meal was fantastic. Overall 9 on 10 ratings.

I booked this property for one night, unfortunately i can't reach that particular date but the staff are good. They extend my booking for next day which was a good gesture. Normaly you can't get this facility anywhere. Really appreciate this management.

The boat stay is superb with good amenities. 24 hours hot water and scenic view. Lunch and dinner will be provided if informed prior. Property is maintained well and worth for the money we payed.

The houseboat is a perfect choice, as the rooms are cozy, there is place to sit outside and the care taker of the hb is a very welcoming and helpful man.

Beautiful houseboat

Rated 5.0 by John Mark Silas Mankena . Group Traveller . Jun 13, 2023

We reached the houseboat very easily. Ms. Nazima was very helpful in guiding us along the way. As for the houseboat itself, it was beautiful. It became the highlight of our entire trip. And fayaz bhai is the man. He helped us in all dealings with the shikhar rides, he organised a barbecue for us during dinner. He gave us useful tips in dealing with all the various vendors. Awesome guy all over. He made our trip even better. Overall i ram houseboat is an incredible experience. We plan to visit again in the future.

We were having problem for finding boathouse because of g20 meeting in kashmir but staff was cooperating with us about that at last by requesting army officers we were able to find the place to access houseboat at mid night but then also staff of houseboat came to pickup from corner of lake to their houseboat at 12:00 am. The staff was very very good and talking to us very nicely. It was an exciting experience.

Excellent budget stay

Rated 5.0 by Annu Priya . Family Traveller . May 24, 2022

One of the most economical house boat stays in dal lake. The staff are very hospitable and courteous. The shikara ride offered by them is for only 600 inr for one hour while that offered at the ghat is not less than 1500 inr. I would recommend staying at this property.

Best budget houseboat
