I was in Gurkha Houseboats for two nights at Srinagar in September 2011. And I like it so much. My favorite activity is sitting in the verandah and enjoying the view in front of my eyes, the lake that unite with the mountain whether it's in day or night. You can also try the gondola to round the lake. In... More

The trip to Srinagar last week was a blissful affair for both me and my wife. We had booked our package through the site Antilog Vacations as we got an enticing budget package of 7 days and 6 nights. My wife had heard a lot about the houseboats from her friends and consequently we booked the Gurkha Houseboat at the... More

My stay at Gurkha Houseboat was simply awesome from the start to the end, and i wished i could return to stay longer!

A night stay in a houseboat is quite different from that in a hotel.. i personally feel it was an adventurous and memorable moment.. the architechture of a houseboat is amazing.. the interior design is appealing and attractive depicting the kashmiri and persain culture,,

An excellent service rendered. Very friendly people. Food was real nice. They served this local Kashmiri tea, Khawa, which was so nice. Our "captain", Majid was great. Constantly checking up on us and immediately providing whatever we asked for. And the houseboat owner, Mr. Saboor, was just wonderful. Came down to visit us twice to see if everything was going...

In short I just want to say that Gurkha Houseboats at Neegin Lake are the most beautiful n the cleanest houseboats I have ever seen in Srinagar. I can say this as i have also checked out some houseboats at Dal Lake which were of no match. - ABHISHEK MAHESHWARI, NAGPUR.
