We were a group of 10 guys who planned a trip to kashmir valley, and the trip wouldn't have been so memorable & enjoying without the stay at the Shelter Group house boats. We were given the complete boat for the stay with 3 bed rooms, 1 lobby, 1 dining area & 1 gallery. It was like we had this... More

Me and My wife had a memorable & wonderful time staying in this houseboat last Nov 2012. Mr Gulam Mohamed Pakhtoon & his son Shafee (Sorry if I spell it wrongly) were very kind & helpful. We were served like VVIP in the houseboat and his son has brought us to few beautiful places in Kashmir like Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Gardens... More

My friend and I really enjoyed our time here, the boat was beautiful and our hosts were very gracious in helping accomodate to our schedule and budget. The food was delicious and they always made sure we had what we needed. The location is a good home base to explore from!

I first stayed with the wonderful Pakhtoon family on one of their "Shelter" houseboats, as a single backpacker, then a year later, returned with my new bride for our honeymoon. We spent a couple of weeks of luxury and bliss with them, and were treated like royalty. Every moment of our stay was memorable...the exquisite food, assistance with local customs,... More

The facilities provided by the houseboat people was excellent. They have bestowed us with great love and affection. The food provided was traditional Kasmiri cuisine which was a very different experience for us.We had stayed there for 3 days and the whole team made our trip very memorable . Would recommend this HB to all those who visit Srinagar.
