Houseboat Wild Rose - Houseboat rental service in Srinagar - Srinagar, India

I have had a lovely time at Wild Rose House Boat. Ibrahim is very kind and Amin the house keeper is very attentive. The trek I went on was very fun and if it wasn't for Ibrahim I wouldn't have gone to the Himalayas and got to experience life in Naranag. The Captain was an incredible guide and I will never forget him. The food has been incredible and as a vegetarian I have felt truly catered for. I have also learnt alot from Ibrahim about local culture which is the main reason I am travelling.

Couldn't recommend wild rose house boat enough! We stayed for 5 days, could've happily stayed longer if I had the time. We trekked the Great Lakes, which was an amazing experience, I felt very comfortable and well looked after by Faizan + the trekking team. You have so many options of what you can do in Kashmir, give yourself a few weeks to take in the beauty of the area

Our time in the Houseboat Wild Rose was a wonderful experience full of nice moments with our lovely Host-Family, great food from Kashmere and if course the beautiful nature of Dal Lake with all it's Eagles, Kingfishers (the bird ;D), Lotusplants and many more! Our Highlight was a 7 day Trekkingtour in the Himalaya with Faizan (our Host Jr.) where we saw not just some amazing mountains but also the life of the local people there. We really enjoyed our time here and hopefully come back one Day. Thank you Ibrahim and your Family!

Absolutely loved this boat, had phenomenal hospitality and an extremely scenic view. On top of this we wanted to do trekking, which Ibrahim sorted out for us and were accompanied by Fez who made us feel welcome. Overall a great experience, and a place to definitely come to!!

I stayed in Kashmir for 2 weeks.on Houseboat Wild Rose and I did NOT want to leave. I was welcomed and treated as an honored guest on arrival and felt like family within a matter of a few days. Ibrahim and his family were extremely friendly, welcoming and attentive. They provided me with the most excellent meals and were more than happy to accomodate any interests I had, to include city tours and trekking, as well as keeping a fresh pot of Kashmir tea at my side for me whenever one ran low. 2 weeks was honestly far too short a time to be amongst such wonderful people in such a peaceful place. The houseboat itself was situated at a nice, quiet section of Dal Lake and the sounds of birds, call of the Muezzin and prayer only added to the overall serenity and feeling of peace. It almost felt like a dream. I can't recommend this houseboat any more highly or say enough good things about the family operating it. I sincerely look forward to my next trip to Kashmir so that I can stay there again!

I had a very nice stay at this beautiful and peaceful houseboat. Owners are very friendly and will help you with everything and they offer activities such as trekking (added some pictures of the trekking). Definitely will stay here again in the future!

Well, personally I think I scored big time by setting foot aboard the Houseboat Wild Rose, beautifully situated on the lake Dal in Srinagar, Kashmir. I had the pleasure of my own guide and chaperone as company while visiting the stunning shrines and mosques of the old town of Dal lake with the host, Ibrahim. A warm and kind hearted man with a beautiful attitude and outlook on life - and a picturesque home with which to host travellers looking for an authentic introduction to the wonderful world that is Kashmir. I enjoyed the delight of having delicious authentic home cooked meals, which have broadened my tastebuds no end, and whose flavours I will remember and likely attempt to replicate - to the degree that I am able - in sha Allah. An abundance of Kashmiri tea, served by the always attentive Amin, who appeared to always be working to maintain the comfort of the houseboat and keep the guests happy. And I am so happy I also chose to go on a week long trek through the Himalayas with Faizan, Ibrahim's son, as guide - and entertainer - a young man overflowing with smiles and laughter and possessing an infectious good humour (and also a worthy opponent in chess. In fact a joy to play in any kind of game, and often the instigator of any number of new ones :D). I got to see some stunning scenery, share in some wild stories, and get a real insight into the heart of the people of Kashmir and what makes this place so unique and beautiful. I feel really lucky for the experience, and for the companions with whom I shared my time here. I can wholeheartedly recommend the window into Kashmir that the Houseboat Wild Rose offers. There is a lot to experience here and a lot of love coming from these people who have hosted me and befriended me. I am supremely grateful for my stay here and will cherish the memories, at least until I return. Until then I wish the very best to all the crew on the Houseboat Wild Rose, and to all who decide to stay here. Good choice! A real home away from home. Much love, David xXoO

A relaxing stay on the lake in the houseboat. Perfect spot to wind down and recharge. Showed us around the local town and organised local activities for us. A great experience trekking with Fazan and the trekking crew. They were very helpful and I felt very looked after, especially when I was sick! Highly recommend!
