Tariq
Traditional houseboat located on Dal Lake facing the Zabarvan Mountains in a peaceful area. We have been happily serving our guests from all over the world for 90+ years. Enjoy a scenic view of lotus farms and water lilies with sights of migratory birds. Houseboat is divinely decorated with traditional Kashmiri furniture and upholstery. Perfect for a relaxing gateway. Our houseboat includes unlimited high-speed WiFi and comfortable seating areas ideal for WFH.
Hospitality is our bread, butter and passion. We love to meet make friends and serve them so this is not a profession for us . We take it very sincerely - experience us (with all due modesty) rest would speak for itself.
