Chicago Group of Houseboats

House boat was like a second home for us. Stay was very comfortable; kids enjoyed a lot with khan Chacha. Food quality and preparation was very good. They made our trip hassle free and easy. It was our second stay. Enjoyed daily sunrise and sunset at the lake

Whether you're renting a boat, taking a tour, or simply enjoying the waterfront, their professionalism and friendly service enhance the experience. The facility is well-maintained, and the team goes above and beyond to accommodate requests. From the stunning views to the seamless service, Chicago Boat House is a top choice for a relaxing and enjoyable time on the water. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great service and a memorable experience!

The experience of my stay from 14.10.25 to 19.10.25 in this house boat is excellent. All facilities are available ,the behaviour of the staff is excellent. Beautiful foods also very delicious. The boat is also well protected.They organised local & outside tour through experience driver as guide in very budgeted rate. The host is very nice and helpful in every sphere. In a ward our experience is excellent and unforgettable. I strongly recommend the house boat for my friends and others.

I stayed with my family and my little child at Chicago Houseboats for five wonderful days, and I can honestly say it was one of the best travel experiences of my life — even after visiting many countries around the world. The place is absolutely stunning, adorned with authentic Kashmiri craftsmanship. The beautifully carved wooden interiors transport you into another world of art, peace, and timeless charm. Every corner of the houseboat reflects the rich heritage and elegance of Kashmir. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized. Even before we reached, the driver was already in touch with the management to update them about our arrival time. When we finally got there, we were warmly welcomed with a delicious traditional Kashmiri dinner waiting for us — a gesture that truly showed the warmth of Kashmiri hospitality. Each day, a new trip was arranged for us — to Gulmarg, Pahalgam, and Srinagar — and every evening, we would return to the comfort of the houseboat to find our room beautifully prepared and dinner ready. It felt like coming home every single night. The entire team works together as one family to make sure every guest feels cared for. They are kind, attentive, and thoughtful in every detail. My child loved the place so much — he felt safe, happy, and completely at home. Simply put, Chicago Houseboats is not just accommodation — it’s a complete Kashmiri experience of art, warmth, and serenity. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a luxurious yet authentic stay with a personal touch on the beautiful Dal Lake. A perfect 10/10 experience — and we will definitely come back again

I booked this holiday from Australia after seeing 5 star reviews on all forums.I wasn't disappointed with my choice. From the pick up from Srinagar airport to being dropped off at the same airport 4 days later,the experience was great. The booking was seamless and the correspondence with the owner via email was always responded without delay.The staff employed by the owner were always courteous and helpful. The food was great. The tours organised by the owner were fantastic. The houseboat was so beautiful and cosy. It is situated on Dal Lake which is so beautiful and serene.We all had one of the best holidays that we have ever experienced and it was all due to the owner Mr Khar and his staff of Mohammed and Tariq. I would have no hesitation in recommending this holiday experience as we will never forget the holiday that we enjoyed.

This was one of the most amazing holidays I’ve ever had with such beautiful people that looked after us. Our guide was so helpful and showed us places that others had not been too and was such a happy vibe to be with. Muhammad was the finest and generous cook you could possibly have and always with a huge smile. Ajaz the owner did everything to make our stay special and designed our holiday to suit our needs. We always felt safe and happy in all we did and would jump at another chance to spend time with such wonderful hosts. Thanks guys ☮️❤️
