Houseboat Ark Royal

I can't say enough good things about this place. This houseboat is more than just a place to stay. It is a family you get here when you visit dal lake. It is an extremely calm place that you would want to wake up to. This is in ghat no. 7 of dal lake (not seen in the row, its behind the row of houseboats making your stay soothing and calming. You can take a shikara for 100 bucks to reach the place. They are literally at your service. The owner lathi, his wife rukhaya, other family members were all abundantly cordial. They invited me to eat together. When you leave them and the place, you feel a pang in the heart. A very caring family. The houseboat is extremely clean that you would not wanna put a chocolate wrapper unattended. The owner can arrange for shikara ride, photography, food and everything you would want in the trip (great knowledge about the places, site seeing, prices, places, distances etc. Do not think of anything else. This is the best. Specially if you are on a solo trip then this is it.
