We are in the tourist trade since 1931 and are owners of large fleet of Deluxe Houseboats moored on the exquisite surroundings of Dal Lake. Ours being self owned and managed Enterprise, this has given us added advantage, as we supervise and attend personally to all our customers and send them back satisfied with all aspects of services provided by us. The unique feature of our fleet of Houseboats is that we offer uniform standard of accommodation, service, gourmet and are connected by foot bridges, offering easy communication for groups. Each Houseboat is tastefully decorated and luxuriously furnished in typical Kashmiri design and décor with lawns. Give us a chance once and we are friends for ever.

Dear Ms. Sheila, Thanks for choosing us for your services in Kashmir during your Trip. It was nice having you as our guest. I personally think that who so ever visits our place should take best memories with him, remember us always and should recommend us to their friends and other family members. If you get repeated or recommended guests this is the best reward one can get. Thank you once again for your wonderful review and hope to see you again in near future. Take care, Hamid Karnai.

This houseboat can be reached only by shikara. There are 5 rooms of which we rented 2 rooms. Both rooms were awesome with attached bathrooms with hot water facility. We were welcomed onboard by latheef bhai with complimentary Kahwa tea, which was our first time experience. The tea he served was so totally refreshing and we took to this tea for the whole of our Kashmir stay. He also served tasty dinner and breakfast. We were eggtarians and he served rice, rotis, dal, vegetable dishes, paneer dish, egg curry, green salad, and all were awesome.
