Top 10 Specialty lodgings in Kashmir, India
The valley of Kashmir is as rich with history and political controversy as it is with culture and natural phenomena. Sample exquisitely spiced native cuisines and festive teas, then walk off your meal along the rugged trekking routes to the north. Marvel at the famous houseboats of Srinagar and take a spiritual moment to reflect at one of the many pilgrimage sites and religious shrines that dot the region. Of course, native craftsmanship makes for excellent souvenirs—carpets and textiles are an especial shopping must.

Newly built luxury houseboat with comfortable deluxe rooms in the peaceful Nigeen Lake, very prime location houseboat in Srinagar. Very well decorated and memorable hospitality guaranteed. Enjoy Kashmiri traditional heritage.
A memorable stay at Floating Heaven
Reviewed By mariamdhTranquility, peace and gorgeous views, the Floating Heaven houseboat at Nigeen Lake is the place to be at. This was my second visit to Kashmir and I chose to stay with them yet again for 4 days as I trusted their commitment to providing the best hospitality. Besides their warmth, what I loved about the houseboat experience was waking up to lovely interiors. Intricate wood carvings with traditional wood furniture and beautiful Kashmiri carpets are praise worthy. The rooms are cosy and aesthetically designed with traditional Kashmiri upholstery. The legacy of the Floating Heaven is being brilliantly taken forward by the owner Mr. Mushtaq. He is very passionate about his houseboat as well as travelling and trekking around Kashmir, which he is happy to plan for his guests. During my trip as a solo traveler, he guided me and booked me accurately to places and hotels that were of my interest. He ensured that my road travel was booked with punctual and trustworthy drivers and hotels were a pleasant stay. He is the best person to ask about everything you need to know about travelling in Kashmir. The caretaking staff Yususf bhai and Mustafa are very friendly and helpful and always available within a call. I would highly recommend the Floating Heaven houseboat for a warm and friendly home like experience and a place to create memories that you can treasure a lifetime.

Budget stay with warm family-homestay experience
Reviewed By Grimy17Abid ji and his family run this home-stay/hotel with a lot of warmth and love. The rooms are basic but spacious for two people or single travelers. I'd advise requesting for arrangements for an electric blower for the room in the winter. Although the electric blankets with which each room is equipped are cosily sufficient, even for the harsh winter there. For trips to Pehelgaum, Gulmarg, Sonmarg and your pick up and drop to the airport can also be safely and comfortably arranged through the hotel itself. The location here is key - this is in Khayam, the barbeque district, so it's got tonnes of good places to eat. Proximity to Dal, Downtown and Lal Chowk made this a prime location for me, but that depends on how you want to experience Srinagar. All requests for extra furniture (desks, cupboards) etc can be arranged too. While there are frequent powercuts in Srinagar, First Kashmir has an inverter and Wifi on standby even during the regular load-shedding.

Above expectations
Reviewed By manojDhankharI visited Kashmir on June month with family and used services of this hotel. Would like to mention and thanks to Mr Sahil and his staff for polite behavior and wonderful hospitality. Staff is very good with quick service; they will try best to get you the things. Yes, Room is small but clean n well maintained. Food is good, it was better than our expectations. Hotel Location is near to Airport(9-10 KM) and outside the main city, which results in less time in travelling to Gulmarg and Airport. In addition, Hotel has its own Departmental store below the hotel, which is the best thing about this hotel. You can get almost anything from store, like toys, milk products, makeups, snacks and etc… Worth mentioning of the Driver Bilal who took us for Pahalgaon, Gulmarg and Sonmarg. He has good information about all the places. He tried best to get the good stuff for best value. Never forced to buy anything. He helped and guide in many ways but never expected anything from us. Looking forward for his services in future. Pros - Outside of city, near Airport - own departmental store - own bakery - Polite Staff - good food - Honest Driver(Bilal) - Sahil(owner) himself is a nice and cooperative person Cons - outside of city, you have nothing to walk outside the hotel - small room but ok - Wooden doors need oil :)

A six bedroom cottage , situated amidst the Himalayas of Dhara forests (Harwan) just 5 Km from Harwan Garden and Dachigam National Park. 23 Km from City center and about 33 Km from the Srinagar International Airport. A fascinating resort with small river flowing on front-side and magnificent views of mountains and Villages. Cherry trees spread across the resort is an absolute delight during spring and summer in Kashmir.
