Houseboat New Golden Flower

Houseboats are a unique feature of Kashmir’s landscape, found nowhere else in the world quite like they are in the Kashmir Valley. For visitors to Srinagar, a stay on a houseboat offers an unforgettable experience. The tradition began in the British era when the Maharaja of Kashmir restricted British settlers from constructing on land. In response, the British created beautiful, intricately designed houseboats on the lakes, a style that has remained largely unchanged since Mr. Conard built the first in 1888. These houseboats have since become symbols of Kashmiri tourism and are recognized globally.

If your idea of a perfect escape includes a houseboat stay in Kashmir, where kingfishers fly between blooming lotus flowers, snow-capped mountains frame the view, and sunsets cast golden light across the water, imagine yourself on Nigeen Lake. Nearly two miles long, this lake is also overlooked by the historic Hari Parbat fort. Our houseboats are categorized as Deluxe, providing exceptional value and a one-of-a-kind vacation experience. At New Golden Flower Heritage Houseboat, we invite you to unwind like Kashmiri royalty and take in the timeless grandeur of the Himalayas. We are committed to offering a premier houseboat experience combined with deep local knowledge to help you enjoy the best that Kashmir has to offer.
