The welcome heritage boat is located on the magical Nageen lake that is pristine and quiet. It was a great and pleasant experience staying with them, right from the booking with the owner Mr Wangoo, who was so pleasant and knowledgeable to our wonderful checkin, stay, food and checkout it was a 10 on 10. It’s a beautifully appointed and well maintained boat with all amenities to star standards. The suite on the top floor with a balcony is heavenly and should be the go to room to choose. The food was yummy with excellent service by the manager and very attentive staff. A trip suggested by them on a shikara was absolutely memorable, it was from the houseboat to Dal lake through some really stunning landscapes and waterscapes. Don’t miss meeting the owner Mr Wangoo and visiting his carpet and art showroom.

I had an amazing stay at the Gurkha houseboat and the staff were all very welcoming, caring, friendly and took attention to every aspect of my stay. Food prepared was very tasty and several courses were served which exceeded all expectations. The room was beautifully decorated with a lake view which was a dream come true for me. I recommend this houseboat and I look forward to returning one day.

I recently stayed at the beautiful Welcomehotel Gurkha houseboat (No.2) located by the serene Nigeen lake with my family. It was a blissful experience, right from the location to the houseboat itself with exquisite walnut and devdar wood carving exterior and interiors and traditional Kashmiri home furnishings, very tastefully done. Special mention to our caretaker Ashraf and manager Tanvir for the warm hospitality and taking such good care of us, especially my son. Homemade food especially mutton rogan josh, dal, lotus stem pickles etc were delicious, adding to the traditional Kashmiri feel. Had good long conversations with them and was disheartened to know the low occupancy post Pahalgam incident, even now. I would like to say our entire Kashmir trip was safe and peaceful, truly the heaven on earth. And would highly recommend it if you still are contemplating your Kashmir trip, especially this houseboat stay - totally worth it! P.S. Don't follow the Google map route by car to arrive at this place, it will take you through narrow roads to the backyard side, which is closed! Better take the Shikara boat ride from ghat No.1
