Houseboat holiday 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.

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 !!!

Our stay at Shabir bhai's houseboat was truly exceptional. Despite arriving ill, I felt immediately at ease thanks to his warm hospitality. Shabir bhai created a comfortable, disturbance-free environment with all necessary amenities for my parents and me. His homemade meals were delicious, and the morning shikara ride he arranged was delightful. What stood out most was Shabir bhai's honest advice about places to visit, which was refreshingly free from the commission-based recommendations we'd encountered elsewhere in Kashmir. Thanks to his suggestion, we discovered the beautiful Badamwari, which wasn't originally on our itinerary. This hidden gem became a highlight of our trip. For anyone seeking a genuine, hospitable experience on Dal Lake, Shabir bhai's houseboat is the perfect choice. Thank you for making our stay so memorable, Shabir bhai ❤️

Our stay at the houseboat was absolutely beautiful and peaceful! The moment we stepped inside, my mom instantly loved it — the interiors were warm, cozy, and beautifully done. The room had a very homely vibe and the electric blankets were the cherry on top — they made our stay extra comfortable in the chilly weather. The bathroom was also spotlessly clean, which we really appreciated. Nazir bhai was so kind and helpful — he came to pick us up twice and made sure we were settled in well. He also arranged a beautiful Shikara ride through one of his friends, which was so serene and memorable that we ended up doing it twice! This stay was one of the highlights of our Kashmir trip. We definitely want to come back and spend more days here next time. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Srinagar and looking for a houseboat experience!

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.

Thank you soo much for making us feel home! It made us feel so warm both the hosts and place. Will surely recommend others and if i ever visit will stay there again for sure

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!
