Tranquility, 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.

A magical experience on Lake Nigeen in Srinagar. The lake is peaceful & the houseboat luxurious. Mushtag was a wonderful host & organised some great day tours. Gulzar was very attentive & caring, providing for all our needs.

Very clean property. The decor of the houseboad is antique and gives the antique vibe. There are rules to use the washroom for minimum spillage of water, which are reasonable. The caretaker, Gulzarbhai is very amicable person.

Going from Midwest America to Srinigar, Kashmir, India in just 48 hours is quite a change. We were almost in shock at all the differences, plus I got the dreaded head cold from 17 hours on the plane. Then we arrived at Floating Heaven, took our shoes off, had a welcome drink of tea, and sat down in a gorgeous public room. Each of us immediately felt relaxed, calm, and safe. We are three friends traveling together from Wisconsin (ages 73, 72, and 50). We were too tired to even eat! As we entered our bedrooms we were absolutely delighted, used the lovely bathrooms, and crawled into bed. The sounds of the city were gone and we only heard the water and animals. I looked out the window to find a huge lily pad forest. We were treated to a full breakfast and sat on the porch in conversation. We visited the city in the day and witnessed the houseboats on Dal Lake -- crowded and having views of the city street -- and thanked our stars we had opted for Floating Heaven on Nigeen Lake. This was the best experience for two ladies and a gentle***. We opted to add another night simply because we could not imagine going to a hotel over this houseboat that had everything and more.

I booked this houseboat of lot of survey online, tour agents were given the houseboats which were not very good then I booked myself directly contacting owner and I got in very good rate also. Surprisingly houseboat maintained very nicely. Very cleaned and arranged all things properly. Clean bathroom, room size very spacious. Double and single bed with sofa in room. Food quality was very tasty. Specially owners are very much caring and paying attention to customers. Very silent and beautiful location, don't go to stay in Dal lake. Dal lake is good for Shikara ride only to see floating market but Nigeen Lake specially Floating Heaven Houseboat is very much preferred, good for family. I liked too much and we enjoyed here.

This houseboat was perfect for us. It is in a quiet place and the hospitality of the ***ager was very good. This houseboat is not connected to the land but it is on an island. They have a nice shikara(boat) ride service that will bring guests in and out of the houseboat whenever requested. The food was very good quality and the cook and the caretaker were very caring to us. The transportation arrangement provided by the ***ager was very reliable and reasonably priced. We would recommend this houseboat for a nice and peaceful stay in Kashmir.

Our family of 4 were in Kashmir for just 2 days in June. We were booked at "The Floating Heaven houseboat" at Nigeen lake.The houseboat is just what I had hoped for and imagined.Kashmiri art and architecture, right from the entrance to our rooms were aesthetically pleasing to our eyes. The carpets and the wooden panels with the furniture gave it a rich feel. Rooms are spacious and cosy. Bathrooms a little dated but the hospitality of our host Mr.Mushtaq made up for all the flaws. He was very generous with his time and helped us plan our stay in Srinagar. On his advice we could actually make the most of the two days with plenty of activities.Infact we were glad we changed our itinerary to include Pahalgam, a day trip from Srinagar.We could see how proud he was bout his boat house which has been run by his family from generations and he narrated amazing stories and showed us pictures about the boat house, the guests etc. He also organises treks ...which sounded amazing.A big thank you to the caretaker Mr. Yusuf and Mustafa who took care of our every need.They were very helpful and friendly.The food was just lovely, the chef was personally present at our every meal and was happy to take feedback about the food. The meals felt very homecooked and every dish was fabulous. The Mutton Roganjosh was to die for.All in all I would definitely recommend this houseboat as it is far from the Dal lake hustle bustle, in tranquil surroundings , with warm and friendly people.Thank you Floating Heaven, it was a beautiful start to our vacation.
