Houseboat vacation rentals in Azad Jammu and Kashmir

We really enjoyed the warm hospitality. The location and the place instill peace and tranquility. Every request was answered efficiently. Shafi, the owner of the place and the service staff, did everything to make the stay pleasant. Invica Tour& Travel organized wonderful tours for us. We will definitely return to this Young Alzira Houseboat.

boathouse is very good, ad price is also reasonable at peak season and hoat is awesome, they serve my family till 1:00 AM Midnight without any tiredness and at next morning arrange tea and warm milk for baby. 5 out of 5

Tariq was one of best host I ever seen. Regarding Stay, it was a house boat in dal lake and way to reach is boat !!!!! what a different experience. house boat is not only gives you Stay experience it's just waw . price was too much affordable . most awesome experience was traditional fire camp inside boat. Tariq is too friendly and too responsive person.

I would like to appreciate our superhost-gentleman ‘Nazirbhai’. I was staying at The Victoria Garden with my family, so we would like to give full credits to him and his family for making us feel comfortable and treating us like own family. Below are the few points of appreciation: 1. Perfect Host 2. Locality knowledge (Transportation, food places, market place etc.) 3. Sightseeing Tips, do’s and don’ts 4. Story telling and experience 5. Communication 6. Genuineness 7. Safety and privacy 8. Flexibility around property stay 9. Respect and care 10. Local Product recommendations Below are few points of improvements: 1. Cleanliness (Specially Cutlery) 2. Breakfast options (if part of service) Overall great price performance and service. We simply found home away from home so strongly recommend this property to all future visitors. Couple of hours spent with Nazirbhai’s Mom and brother became our all time memories. Thank You Nazirbhai and Family !!!

I had a pleasant time at the Kings Houseboat. The family made my stay warm and cozy. I travel very often to Srinagar on work and this time I choose to stay at Kings House Boats was because of its location on the Dal lake. On one side it has a quaint and a great view of the lake and a beautiful sunrise, on the other it has good accesses to the main road and local transport. I would mostly spend my evenings and the beautiful mornings with a cup of Khawa on the boat. I love to take a early morning boat ride into the lake and observe the life on the lake and not to miss the floating vegetable market on the boats. I guess will be a regular at the Kings house boats from now on.

Amazing stay and the host was super helpful and friendly

great place for family and friends beautiful neat and clean place food was delicious 😋 hope to visit them again

don't feel afraid to book this property ! Shabir is a treat as a host, extremely accomodating( we were served delicious breakfast on demand at 7 am because we had to leave srinagar early). we even got dinner delivered to us, at the houseboat. at night you feel peace, away from the noisy boulevard road and experience a very good sunrise in the morning. all in all a great host, a very cozy property and a very pleasant stay. thankyou Shabir !

I had a wonderful stay at Tariq Boat house, the host has been really helpful, and the place is secluded from the rest of the Dal lake boats, so you will find peace and privacy. I would recommend this place for summer season, as during winter the lake will be so cold, and it’s not easy to survive.

The houseboat’s location on Nigeen Lake offers a peaceful escape with fewer crowds compared to Dal Lake. You can enjoy serene shikara rides directly from the boat, explore nearby gardens and cultural sites, or simply relax and take in the breathtaking views. Its traditional Kashmiri wooden interiors are elegantly crafted, offering a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The rooms are spacious, well-appointed, and feature large windows that provide stunning views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. The host Zubair is a standout feature of this experience. Their warm and welcoming demeanor sets the tone for a memorable stay. They go above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of your visit is perfect, from providing local insights and arranging excursions to offering personalized service. Their genuine care and attention to detail make you feel like a valued guest, enhancing the overall comfort and enjoyment of your stay.

Our stay was exceptional for mostly one reason: Shabir himself. No other Houseboat could possibly have the same experience without Shabir. They are all beautiful, ornate traditional generational vessels however they don’t have Shabir. He is incredibly courteous, ever mind full of his guests and nothing is too much trouble. We are three meals a day with him and coffees in between. Delicious and very well priced. We really enjoyed his company; he’s very smart and warm. Knowledgeable and friendly. An amazing human being and we thank him for taking such care when we were so far out of our depth culturally and climatically. He could not have done a better job and organise ‘home’ visits of local culture and wares ( beautiful cashmere and leather wool a fraction the price of the markets and pure quality ) and onward transport to Gulmarg for snow boarding. Saying goodbye was hard for us Thank you Shabir.

It was great stay at this place. The host was very much responsive Recommend this place

Zahoor’s place is nice to stay at. He has been extremely helpful and always responsive. He is a great host. I would definitely recommend it for the stay in Srinagar. I look forward to visiting again!
