Travelled with my parents, uncle-aunt and my family during Mar 2012. Aksar Bhai, the owner of the HB is an excellent host. On the day of our arrival to Srinagar, there was a cyclone, and he recommended us not to reach the houseboat, and provided a Hotel in the City. The next few days, we were hosted at the Houseboat,...

My husband and I were visiting Kashmir for our honeymoon, and spent 4 days from our week long trip at one of the 4 Dawn houseboats - Happy Dawn. All four Dawn houseboats are beautifully located at the far end of Dal lake, unlike most others which opened up to a view of the road and oncoming traffic. A fairly... More

I was in Srinagar for my honeymoon. At first the things were good. We arrived, they welcomed us warmly. 1) On arrival, there were three types of rooms. And because we had booked them through an agent, we got the smallest & shabbiest room. Not to be too critical, but the room actually looked like an adultery house. When we... More

We stayed for 3 NIghts here in this house boat " Happy Dawn" which is one of the 4 Dawn Group Houseboats, The first impression itself of this houseboat makes you feel at home away from home. Right from the time you step in to the large beautifully decorated living room with plush carpets and upholstery and nicely carved furniture.... More

We stayed at the Dawn houseboat and we truly enjoyed the stay, the location, hospitality and facilities were great. We stayed for 4 nights, the room was clean and well maintained, the home made food was great, but you will have limited choice. The owner made us feel at home as he was personally making sure his guests are happy... More

I would agree with the previous post that a lot of the locals are trying to get a lot of money out of you, but it is their job. It is how they make a living. If you kindly decline you can usually move on. I did not find that to be the case here at this place at all.... More

The house boats on Dal LAke are an absolute rip off....Please bargain on the price for a night stay before you decide to board one..They can be very friendly and buttery but when it comes to money they will squeeze you for every penny. The Dal lake is absolutely beautiful but the locals are greedy and are only interested in... More

Dal lake has many faces - there are parts which are congested, some parts are very dirty and some parts very serene. This group of houseboats are located in the open, quite and serene part of the Dal Lake. The view of the open Dal Lake is amazing from this houseboat. The lake is really wide over here. Takes 10...
