We stayed for 3 nights in the houseboat and it was worth the stay, the room was very good with wood carving, the washroom was very good. The location of the houseboat was on nagin lake which is one of the quieter lake in srinagar and at the night you could hear the sound of frogs and in the day... More

We went to Kashmir in May 2013 and had booked a 2 night stay in HB Flora. Needless to say that Nigeen lake is a place which is away from all hustle bustle of Dal lake and at short 8-10 km distance. The owner Bashirbhai took good care of us and even served us Kashmiri homemade food. Overall the ambience... More

We were at Kashmir in the last week of March and first week of April. Had an excellent trip and wonderful experiences. Our trip started with staying at Basheer Bhai's Peacock houseboat on the Nigen lake. The lake itself was magnificent, faraway from the madding crowds it was serene and.picturesque. Our stay at the houseboat is something i would like... More

Just so that all are aware one needs to understand few details. Nageen lake is undoubtedly better lake than Dal and is peaceful. However, one needs to know that while the review for Peacock houseboats are quiet good on all sites, they have a fleet of houseboats, only one or two houseboats out of the fleet are up to mark....

This guest stayed on Peacock Houseboats in August 2012. It is unfortunate she hadn’t read my response to the October 29, 2012 review before she wrote this belated review. I had stated that the New Mavis Houseboat was deleted from Peacock Houseboats in Oct. 2012. “Please read before you book Peacock Houseboat.... It will save your enjoyment....” Reviewed October 29,...

While planning a trip to Kashmir we narrowed onto to Peacock HB for HB stay based on the excellent Tripadvisor reviews. On inquiring they also gave the option of a package that we took as it sounded good. Unlike Makeymytrip etc, they were also able to confirm bookings much in advance. Glad that we took it and the entire Kashmir... More

After reading through a lot of reviews and getting confused on Dal or Nagin lake, I decided to stay in Nagin lake. Sent inquiries to some of the Housboats in Nagin, the response from Peacock HB was much more professional with all the details included in the email with youtube video etc. We booked this a month and half in...

Thank you for taking time to write a review and for the complimentary remarks about the houseboat, the service and the scenic trip we planned for you. We always appreciate feedback from our guests. The shikara salesmen come up to every houseboat both on Nigeen and Dal Lake. (In fact it’s worse on Dal Lake). I'm sorry they tried to... More
