Hotels in Nigeen Lake, Srinagar

Excellent property located at prime location with stunning views of nigeen lake. Surrounded by mountains theres a park behind the houseboat where you can enjoy morning and evening walk. The staff is helpful and humble. You can enjoy sunset shiakra rides from the houseboat.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Mascot Houseboats on Nigeen Lake, and it was truly a delightful experience. The houseboats are beautifully carved wooden boats that exude charm and character. They are easily accessible from ghat 1, and a free shikara service is available from morning till night, making transportation convenient and hassle-free. The service at Mascot is exceptional, with waiters stationed in each boat who prepare and serve all meals, snacks, and tea. The food is delicious and feels like a home-cooked meal. I particularly enjoyed the lotus root curry and apricot curry, which are local seasonal specialties and were both incredibly flavorful. Staying on Nigeen Lake was a peaceful and serene experience, with spectacular views all around. It offered a quieter stay compared to the bustling Dal Lake, which was exactly what I was looking for. The highlight of my stay was the 2-hour wetland tour, where I got to experience local lake life and wildlife that thrives in the heart of the city. It was a truly memorable experience that I would highly recommend. Despite choosing the cheapest room option, I felt like I was receiving first-class service. The staff and management at Mascot Boats were incredibly welcoming and always ready to chat about the history and richness of Kashmir, adding to the overall experience. The wifi in our boat was low at times, however this did not bother us as our surroundings kept our time full. Do expect power cuts every now again, but that it to expected across the Kashmir region, and the staff make sure to keep essentials like hot water available. Overall, my stay at Mascot Houseboats was fantastic, and I can't wait to return with my family. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and memorable stay in Kashmir. - Zain and Euri

Kings Houseboat is a true gem, exquisitely beautiful and exuding charm at every corner. This family-run business stands out for its exceptional hospitality, with both the family and staff going above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect. During our visit to Kashmir, we unfortunately fell ill, but their kindness and care truly shone. They graciously allowed us a late checkout and went out of their way to help us feel comfortable and still make the most of our time there. It’s rare to find such heartfelt warmth and dedication. Kings Houseboat is an unforgettable experience, and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking comfort, beauty, and genuine care.

Set in the tranquil Nigeen Lake, New Jacqueline Heritage Houseboat (NJHH) is a true gem in Srinagar. This property is very clean, well maintained, and beautifully adorned with traditional Kashmiri interiors. We were treated to great hospitality by the owner, Mr. Maqsood his son Sami and their entire team. Special mention to Muneer for taking good care of us and our needs during our stay. We are vegetarians, and the food served was to our liking. The views from the deck area are beautiful. I would recommend visitors to spend atleast 2 nights to soak in the experience. We will definitely visit this property again. P.S, If you get an opportunity to visit the houseboat owner Mr. Maqsood's residence, pls do visit to look at his collection of Kashmiri pashmina shawls, carpets, clothes, etc. which can be purchased a trip souvenir.

Fantastic Location - the lake view room was very luxurious and spacious - food was okay - staff was good

Warm and friendly welcome; much laughter was had. A fun and relaxed atmosphere in a stunning setting on peaceful Lake Nageen. Family-run with extraordinary home-made Kashmiri food. Imtiyaz, an excellent guide, took us round Srinagar and up into the mountains, again definitely worth doing. Whether watching the kites and kingfishers at sunset or watching the shikaras paddle past, it is a balm for the soul. I could go on, but suffice to say go and stay on the Lily of Nageen. Thank you!
