Prices are for two people sharing unless stated. Extra guests, longer stays, vegetarian wazwan and different day trips are all easy to arrange — just say so when you enquire.
Guest reviews
We have stayed in a lot of hotels, but nothing like waking up on the water with the Pir Panjal turning pink. The woodwork inside is museum-grade.
Reserve
No prepayment required to hold a date. Send us your dates and we'll come back with availability, a firm rate and airport pickup options.
Before you book
Yes. The boats are permanently moored, not sailing vessels, and are steady enough that most guests forget they're on water within an hour. Ours is family-run with staff on board at all times, and the ghat is lit and gated overnight.
April to June for tulips, blossom and mild days; July and August for the lotus blooms on the lake; September and October for clear air and autumn chinars. November to March is cold and quiet — the mountains are at their most dramatic and rates are lowest, and every room has a bukhari stove.
Srinagar Airport (SXR) is about 14 km away, roughly 30 minutes by road. Send us your flight number and we'll have a car at arrivals and a shikara waiting at the ghat — the last stretch is always by water.
Not at the moment. We hold your dates on an enquiry with no prepayment, and you settle on arrival. If you'd prefer to pay in advance we can arrange a bank transfer.
Breakfast is included with every room. Lunch and dinner are available on the boat — including a Kashmiri wazwan with a day's notice — and are charged separately.
Yes. Every chamber has a bukhari wood stove which we light for you, plus extra quilts, and hot water runs around the clock.
Yes — with a car and a driver we've used for years rather than whoever the taxi stand sends. Tell us the night before and we'll pack breakfast.
