Decent house boat having beautiful veiw. Best service in the house boat and great food served as per guest's need. Director of the houseboat group visits personally every day late evening to take feed back and make sure that guests are enjoying this place. Overall this is better house boat to stay then anyother in Dal lake.

What a beautiful houseboat, set in Nigeen Lake, peaceful and treated like royalty! The food was excellent and Riyaaz was an excellent host of houseboat no.3. Beautiful views of the Himalayas, lovely gardens to stroll in, and sipping Kahwa on the deck, made our stay magical!
