New Buckingham palace heritage houseboat is located at Nigeen lake, not crowded at all, was a very peaceful stay, We choose this place based on a personal recommendation and are glad that it was a right decision Each bedroom has beautiful lake view and mountain view. The thing I liked the most was that it has road touch and water toch, no need to take Shikara every time we want to go out, The interior décor is very well maintained. All amenities are there including wifi, steamer, heaters, etc.. The hosts Captain Hameed and his fully energetic nephew Khalid take care of all your needs. Khalid took us to Pahalgam and Gulmarg and helped us everywhere through the crowds and the traffic with ease. He has local knowledge and good network so was an excellent guide too in our trip. The hosts were very accommodative to our frequent changes in plans (most of us fell sick with stomach infection while travelling from Katra to Srinagar). The food preferences were asked each day and customised as per our need. Food is homely, hygienic and delicious. Highly recommend this place for their hospitality , the location, their service, budget-friendly, and for the warm homely feel.
