Beautiful stay in the nigeen lake.

Dear Adnan bhai, My single day stay in Kashmir has etched an eternal memory for me. The personal touch u give in taking care of your guests and the connect (in person) that you made with us felt akin to familial belonging. The houseboat: Situated facing the mesmerizing Himalayas on the beautiful nigeen lake, the boat is a home away from home. Amazingly warm and comfortable stay in the nigeen lake. Beautifully decorated and well kept houseboat. The BUKHARI placed in sitting area and in rooms kept the bitter chill at bay. The hot and tasty dinner we were served was a great experience. Memorable Shikara Ride: 🛶 It was well planned small tour from nigeen lake to dal lake. Had Maggi and chai at the start of our tour. Felt like a small picnic. On the way we passed through old mughal brige, saw floating gardens, raja hari singh fort, Meena bazar and saw dwellings of Kashmiri people. Got to spend time in dal lake clicking pics, having dinner and shopping at meena bazar. Abid bhai was our SHIKARA tour cum guide who made shikara ride enjoyable for us. He made sure we felt safe, warm and friendly in the sunset ride of Dal Lake. The 5 hour long shikara ride will stay with us forever. Now to Tarek bhai: 🚐 A highly interactive and knowledgeable person. He drove us back to kashmir airport. Not a second was there when we felt bore. He enlightened us with the all there is to know about kashmir talks. He was really amicable and helpful person. Cons: Bed sheets and blankets felt unclean amidst the pandemic scare. Seatings and foam at shikara were also not cleaned. Our time at meena bazar shopping could have been used to explore Dal Lake more. The quantity of breakfast (eggs/bread) was a bit less as we paid a handsome amount for a regular breakfast. The after dinner sellers were a big NO NO. At family outing we felt robbed of peace and our 1.5 hrs were wasted. They try to sell old and outdated stuff which is usually available in delhi markets. Location 5/5 Food 5/5
A royal treatment while you feel at home!

We stayed with the Akbar Group of Heritage Houseboats for only one night (towards the end of our stay at Srinagar), and we can only wish it had been longer! It is located on the Nigeen Lake, which is far less crowded than its counterpart about 7 kilometres apart, the Dal Lake. After driving over the Nigeen Lake area for the first couple of days (on our way to Hazratbal and Sonmarg), we found it to be somewhat desolate, and hence on the morning we were supposed to check in, we called up Adnan (who manages these houseboats), and asked if he could transfer us to some houseboat on the Dal Lake. He politely said he could not, but he could offer us a full refund if we wanted. After reaching the Shikara ghat on the Nigeen Lake, we knew that it turned out only to be much better than Dal Lake. It is serene and pristine. The boats are beautifully maintained and decorated. Immediately after reaching, we left for a Shikara ride. The ride was through what we found to be a village on the water. I have been to Venice but loved the rustic charm of this village on the water they have their vegetable fields, Quranic school, grocery and stationery stores, art and craft store all on water. Eventually the ride reaches the Dal Lake which we then found rather crowded. On our way back, we met Mr. Marvellous flower man, a florist who carries his entire flow culture on his boat, and sails and sells at the same time. The boat we stayed in had 3 rooms (each for 2-3 people), a kitchen, one dining room, one spacious living room but the best part was a cook at one end of the living room where you can sit and watch the lake. We enjoyed a nice home-cooked meal in the evening and a very filling breakfast in the morning after. They cook their food with locally grown produce, including their own poultry. All the staff, including Adnan (the owner and manager), Hilal (the cook and food server) and Gulam Muhammad (the shikara driver) are very congenial and would make you feel at home.
Felt like home!

This was our last day stay Of our kashmir trip. The owner Mr. Adnan welcomed us with some special biscuits and gave us a warm me man away is. We were there during their special festival Of Eid. The best part Of this houseboat is their location. We saw a double rainbow when we stayed here. The toilets are clean and 24hr hot water supply. The common hall is where all networking happens with others. We saw a world cup match Of India vs sa. The outer gallery is fascinating be it the view or the sur ses. The host and the people helping us are very sweet. The dinner and lunch was fine. 250rs per person and breakfast with 150rs per person. One point to note is they dont provide normal water (which is generally free), we have to buy it from them at at30rs per bottle. At night we got to meet ad nan's family and we conversed a lot on many topics. It was a heart warming gesture if him. Over-all the stay was excellent. Me and my family thoroughly enjoyed kashmir is the safest place I have been till date. Period. Go kashmir
5 star location, food and hospitality.

We are 4 adults with 1 kid stayed there for 1 day. In one word I will say it's in heaven. Boat is beautiful decorated, washrooms are clean and spacious with running hot and cold water. View from boat is amazingly beautiful. Adnan, owner of the boat guided us time to time and valued our choice as well. The care taker served delicious meal. Both are very nice people. July month is very hot and the rooms were getting very hot during day but pleasant in the evening. If there is any issue, Adnan is always there to resolve it. He gave us portable fan in the room so that the heat issue can be resolved. We truly loved the hospitality and location and like to come again to spend more time.
Amazing experience

Amit Jena
Stayed for a day, lovely location with overwhelming welcome, great food and the service is more than 5 star.
Apart from the very particular part of stay, the best past about this property is it’s staff and it’s owner. All these people are so cooperative and so helpful that even you feel like going again, you will go to them only.
Amazing view, great hospitality
Akshata Pai
The view from this houseboat is to die for. The Shikhara ride to Dal lake was nice too and having Maggie and coffee right in the middle of the lake was such a wonderful experience. I'd love to go again in the winters when the mountains that you can view are all covered in white.
Awesome pleasant location

Houseboat is clean and service is also very good. Location and view is awesome. Front desk is far better than that of houseboats in Dal Lake. Food quality was not as per Punjabi food.
