Peacock Houseboats

Peacock Houseboats feature fragrant cedar houseboats moored over the beautiful Nagin Lake in Kashmir, with almond trees and the Himalayan mountains as a backdrop. Each houseboat features a common living room, dining room. Meals and free tea are served by the houseboy.

Decorated with antique wooden furnishings, rooms all come with a fan and Western-style bathrooms with hot-water showers. A cushioned verandah overlooks the mountains and lake. It is especially pretty in the mornings when a thin mist covers the waters.

Peacock Houseboats is 5 km from downtown Srinagar and 23 km from Srinagar Airport. Attractions like Pahalgam Town, Yusmarg Meadow and Gulmarg Town are within 75 km away.

Guests can watch satellite TV in the carpeted living room, or enjoy the warm sunshine at the boat's sun deck. A 5-minute shikara (wooden boat) ride takes guests to The Nigeen Club, which features a gym and scenic cafe.

A daily Western breakfast is served in the shared dining room. For lunch and dinner, choose between Kashmiri, Mughlai, Western or Indian cuisines. Packed lunches and room service are also available.
