Mascot Houseboats

We are still dreaming about our exquisite experience in Mascot Houseboat. Our 3 nights stay in this luxurious houseboat in Nigeen lake has been truly magical. Beautiful spacious room, rich and elegantly designed houseboat, stunning views of the mountains and blue lake incl a variety of birds that visited us - it was peace, calm and beauty personified. Paradise on earth indeed! Special mention - Umer and his hospitality, who took great care of us. suggested the best/unique Kashmiri dishes we should try there; and went the extra mile in everything to ensure we had the most memorable time in Mascot. He is awesome! Big highlight is their food, and kudos to the Chef who prepared delicious dishes at breakfast and dinner. What a wonderful stay, and the shikara rides on the serene Nigeen lake was icing on the cake! Highly recommended, please go!

We had come to experience ,the lalit as expected it is a grand property with the best view in lalit .but more than that we were overwhelmed by the service and hospitality of the staff special shrishti kriti and saima at the chair garden...... Than kriti

Located on a peaceful, serene lake, away from the hustle of the city and the touristy spots, this stay was just what the soul needed. So thoughtfully created, these houseboats are like works of art, so regal and elegant. It was a joy just to be there! The staff are polite and respectful, something solo travellers do not often experience. They were happy to go out of their way to make the stay a truly wonderful experience. Their attention to details was heart warming. And the meals were a delight! Not your regular hotel fare; it was cooked with a lot of care, giving the perfect home-cooked, local cuisine experience every traveller looks for when they visit a new place. To top it off, the owner also makes the effort to meet with every person visiting. And not just your typical formality type of meet and greet either; he makes it a point to actually spend quality time with everyone. Long story short, this stay is worth every penny, and is probably the best place I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing.

It was very special as it was my mom’s 77th birthday and she especially requested that we visit Kashmir. We all love Srinagar and states at the luxurious and beautiful Shamah suite. The boats and the hospitality was so unique and felt like it was our own home, just like family.

Excellent Hospitality. Delicious food with excellent services. We all had wonderful time. Good experience staying in Houseboat. Must try atleast once. Rooms were good, linen was good quality. Bathroom with toiletories were of good standards. No opportunity to have negative remarks.

This is a total antithesis of the houseboats on the Dal lake as in that you have luxury, privacy and very personalized service. My parents who are old and need assistance were very comfortable. The rooms and the suite are spacious and have everything one needs. This is an ideal place if you want to enjoy the true Kashmir and Old world hospitality. All I all we had a really fantastic experience and only wish that we could have extended our stay here.

It is a beautiful and clean property located on the most serene part of lake nigeen. We had a large room for our family of 4. It was spacious and well decorated. After 4 days in the snow of ******** and being surrounded on and off by crowds, it was great to be in a peaceful serene houseboat

A haven of unmatched beauty and tranquilly can be found nestled among Srinagar's calm waters: the houseboat, which personifies the spirit of Kashmiri hospitality and craftsmanship. My recent visit to this charming home was nothing less than a captivating voyage into peace and quiet. The owner and staff welcomed me warmly as soon as I boarded, showing me that their hospitality knew no limits. Throughout my visit, I was not only made to feel welcome but also genuinely cherished by their sincere concern and attention to detail. It was clear that every element of this houseboat was a work of timeless artistry, created with love and devotion. The houseboat's the formation was vividly described by the owner in his account of its construction, with each piece of wood expertly carved by the hands of a renowned artisan who sadly passed away. I was humbled by the rich embroidery of culture and tradition woven into its very fabric as I looked at the minute details that adorned every corner and crevice, from the handwoven carpets to the elaborate furnishings. But what really won me over was the atmosphere of this floating haven. The only sound in the serene lull of the lake was the a piece of nature, chirping birds blending with the soft sound of the water against the hull. It was a haven where time seemed to stand still, far from the bustle of the city. Then there was the food, which was a delightful exploration of Kashmiri flavours. Every meal was expertly made with the freshest ingredients and abundantly presented with warmth and hospitality. Every dish, which ranged from homely comfort food to traditional Kashmiri delicacies, was a showcase for the kitchen staff's culinary skills. Throughout my entire visit, I was surrounded by an unmatched world of peace and beauty. I was greatly influenced by every encounter, from the staff's kindness to the houseboat's exquisite craftsmanship. It was more than just a vacation; rather, it was an exploration of the essence of Kashmiri hospitality, where each second seemed to be building towards a treasured memory.
