I booked Wangnoo Houseboats on hotels.com. When I arrived I was put into a beautiful, amazing houseboat. It was fantastic. Mr. Wangnoo told me he'd put me in the "honeymoon suite," assuming I was traveling with my wife (I was actually alone). The trouble started after a couple of days. The manager asked if I would be willing to move... More

No trip to Kashmir would be complete without a stay on a houseboat. Our stay on the Nageen Princess was indeed a memorable one! The workmanship on the construction of the boat was fascinating whilst the tasteful decor, beautiful carvings and gorgeous crewel work soft furnishings created the comfortable and cheerful ambience of a bygone era. The view (from the... More

Located on a quiet part of Nagin Lake so you don't have the traffic of Dal Lake. Upsides: The construction of the boat of the boat is really fascinating, gorgeous interior woodwork. The greenery around the boat creates space and brings a lot of birds. View across the lake is really superior. Bathrooms are en suite. Every meal we had... More

There are many types of house boats in Srinagar but I recommend that if you are going to go then pay the extra and visit the Wangnoo house boats. These are traditional colonial house boats, the detail of the wood carvings I have never seen the like before. You really do think that you are stepping back in time. It... More

To add up with the dream is to stay at a nice and cozy place and we, a group of Deans and colleagues of the Graduate Schools of Universities in Thailand, selected to stay at this premises. We did really have a good time staying there. The place is... More

A friend of ours who lives in Srinagar booked this houseboat for us and it was in a great location on Nagin Lake, which is really quiet and peaceful - and the water appears to be clean. The houseboat had four bedrooms - all en suite - there was just my husband and I and my elderly (86) mother, who... More

For the longest time I have always wanted to travel to Kashmir to stay on their famous houseboats and checkout the snow slopes. Given the relative calm in the past few years, I decided to try that out with a friend. After reading the few reviews about houseboats on the tripadvisor, we picked the Wangnoo Houseboat on Nagin Lake, Srinagar,... More
