Peacock Group of Houseboats offers deluxe, 3-star houseboats located on Nigeen Lake, known for being one of the cleanest and most scenic lakes in Kashmir. The houseboats are crafted from cedar wood and feature Victorian-style wooden furnishings. Each houseboat includes 2, 3, or 4 bedrooms, along with a carpeted living room and dining area. The bedrooms come with attached western-style bathrooms. Guests can relax on a cushioned veranda overlooking the lake. Meals are served in the dining room by house staff, with options of authentic Kashmiri, Indian, or Western dishes, and packed lunches are also available.
