Mascot Houseboats

This houseboat is located on Nigeen lake which is much more peaceful compared to Dal Lake. All the rooms are lake facing & spacious. The interiors are rich with Kashmiri woodwork. The freshly cooked food is unlike any hotel and will make you feel like home. If you are looking for a 5-star hotel experience with an elaborate buffet and housekeeping, then this isn’t the place for you. What this offers is authentic Kashmiri themed ambience & warm hospitality. This is a premium houseboat and unlike the others with matchbox sized rooms. Do experience this!

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.

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!

It was such an amazing experience staying here, Me myself is a photographer and my wife Is interior designer and we keep travelling but we couldn't find such houseboat ever, staff is amazing and owner Imtiyaz bhai is very welcoming and trust me guys don't think about anything before booking this stay. Their interior and balcony is superb. we will strongly recommend everyone to come here

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.

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.
