'Fantastic experience and great hospitality"
Our experience was outstanding! we were hugely amazed by the warmth and hospitality meted to us by the owner and his son, Imran. Clean rooms (including bathrooms) with electric blankets, traditional heating equipment and finger licking waazwan delights like gushtaba, yakhni, rishta etc that Imran and his father put out on the dinner table made the experience truly memorable. That the houseboat was a little boatride away from the ghat meant that we had to use the shikara for commuting and that actually was yet another exciting part of the stay. flanked by snow clad mountains on one side and a lotus farm in front, the Zaindari boathouse is a must on everyone's Srinagar itinerary!
