Swan Group Of Houseboats  

Moored on Dal Lake in Srinagar, this houseboat puts you steps from the water and within walking distance of the city center. Close to Shankaracharya Reserved Forest and the Royal Springs Golf Course, it’s a prime spot for sightseeing and lake-side vibes.

This is a 12-room, air-conditioned houseboat with flat-screen TVs, minibars and separate sitting areas. Many rooms feature private jetted bathtubs, terraces with views and simple, neat in-room touches like slippers and safes. Staff speak English and daily housekeeping keeps things fresh.

Enjoy an outdoor pool and a garden/terrace to soak up the views — wake up to lake-breeze mornings. Onsite massages, tour assistance and a shuttle/transfer service make exploration easy. Complimentary wireless internet is available across the property, and there’s free parking for guests. Winter-sports options (skiing area) are listed for seasonal fun.

A business center and 24-hour front desk support work-and-travel needs. High-speed wired internet is available (surcharge), plus luggage storage, a safe-deposit box and roundtrip airport shuttle services.

Dine at the houseboat’s on-site restaurant or order 24-hour room service. Buffet breakfasts are served daily from 8 AM to 11 AM for a fee, giving you an easy start before a day on the lake.
