WelcomHeritage Gurkha Houseboats

They say a location is defined by the people who represent it and I am overwhelmed to share that entire staff of our house boat no. 4 being led by the manager Mr. Tanveer was the most beautiful interaction of our entire trip. They were soft, polite and very courteous people. Add to this was the beautiful traditional decore and homely food were all icing on the cake. Wish we could have spent more time on the same. Highly recommend.

I recently stayed at the beautiful Welcomehotel Gurkha houseboat (No.2) located by the serene Nigeen lake with my family. It was a blissful experience, right from the location to the houseboat itself with exquisite walnut and devdar wood carving exterior and interiors and traditional Kashmiri home furnishings, very tastefully done. Special mention to our caretaker Ashraf and manager Tanvir for the warm hospitality and taking such good care of us, especially my son. Homemade food especially mutton rogan josh, dal, lotus stem pickles etc were delicious, adding to the traditional Kashmiri feel. Had good long conversations with them and was disheartened to know the low occupancy post Pahalgam incident, even now. I would like to say our entire Kashmir trip was safe and peaceful, truly the heaven on earth. And would highly recommend it if you still are contemplating your Kashmir trip, especially this houseboat stay - totally worth it! P.S. Don't follow the Google map route by car to arrive at this place, it will take you through narrow roads to the backyard side, which is closed! Better take the Shikara boat ride from ghat No.1

A truly memorable stay at Welcome Heritage Gurkha Houseboat! Everything was perfect – clean rooms, tasty food, and excellent hospitality. Special thanks to Tanveer, Asharaf, and Riyas for making us feel so comfortable, just like home.
