There are spacious four -bed room ,three-bedroom boats and cozy two-bedrooms; all feature attached bathrooms, electricity and modern plumbing. The cedar interiors are intricately carved and display the consummate artistry of Kashmiri craftsmen. The furnishings include embroidered native rugs and fabrics, and solidly comfortable Victorian and Edwardian furniture. These luxurious boats also feature rooftop sundecks from which to take in the Himalayan views and enjoy the brisk fresh air.
We owned and operated Chicago group of Houseboats in Kashmir for four generations. They are proud of Kashmir and the heritage of both the valley and the mountains and have been warmly welcoming travelers from honeymooners to mountain trekkers from all over the world.
We are located in central part of the lake, surrounded with huge mountains, facing towards Mughal Fort, Sunset view, very very safe area. Very famous road close by Boulevard Road, famous local sight seeing of city near by
