About This Service

Most houseboats are not reachable directly by road, which catches a lot of first time visitors off guard. You arrive, bags in hand, and realize the last stretch is by Shikara, from a ghat that your driver may or may not actually know. We built this service to close that gap.

Dal Lake and Nigeen Lake both have dozens of houseboats spread across different rows and channels, and getting dropped at the wrong ghat means a longer, more confusing Shikara transfer than it needs to be. Our drivers confirm your exact houseboat name and owner before the pickup, so you are taken to the correct point the first time.

This works equally well as your first transfer into Srinagar, straight from the airport or railway station to the ghat, or as a later pickup once you are ready to continue your trip, back to the airport or onward to your next stop.

Duration is a single transfer, though we are happy to hold the booking if your houseboat check in time shifts, flights get delayed more often than anyone would like.

Package Snapshot

Duration: Single transfer, typically 30 to 60 minutes depending on pickup point
Covers: Airport, railway station or hotel pickup to the correct houseboat ghat
Vehicle: Sedan for smaller groups, SUV for families with more luggage
Driver confirms your houseboat name and owner before pickup
Shikara handoff arranged at the ghat, included as part of the transfer
Return transfer available when you are ready to leave

Dal Lake Or Nigeen Lake, Know Your Ghat

Plan: Airport Or Hotel To Houseboat Transfer

Most of the confusion around houseboat pickups comes down to which lake and which ghat your particular houseboat sits on. Here is the short version.

₹999

STARTING PRICE PER PERSON

Dal Lake Houseboats

The larger, more well known lake, with houseboats spread across several ghats including Ghat 4 and the areas near Nishat and Boulevard Road. The busier of the two, so correct ghat selection matters even more.

Nigeen Lake Houseboats

Quieter and less crowded, generally a shorter Shikara transfer from the ghat, popular with travellers wanting a calmer stay away from the main tourist flow.

Inclusions

• Pickup from airport, railway station or hotel
• Transfer to the correct ghat for your houseboat
• Driver who confirms your houseboat name and owner beforehand
• Toll, parking and driver allowance

Exclusions

• The Shikara fare from the ghat to the houseboat itself
• Houseboat accommodation
• Meals
• Personal expenses

Why Choose Us

Why Choose Kashmir Car Rental Tariff?

Drivers Who Confirm The Exact Houseboat First

We ask for your houseboat name and owner before the pickup, so there is no guessing or circling the wrong ghat once you arrive.

Correct Ghat, Not Just The Nearest One

Dal Lake alone has several ghats, and the nearest one to the main road is not always the right one for your houseboat. We get this right the first time.

Flexible Around Flight Delays

Flights into Srinagar shift more often than anyone would like. If your timing changes, tell us and we will hold or adjust the pickup.

Transparent Tariffs

Clear pricing for the transfer, shared upfront so nothing catches you off guard. Any Shikara fare from the ghat is separate and clearly explained.

Eighteen Plus Years Across This Region

Long enough to know most of Srinagar's houseboats by name, not just by ghat number.

What To Know Before You Arrive

Your Houseboat's Exact Name

Share this with us at booking, since several houseboats can share similar names across different ghats.

Luggage And Access

The final stretch from ghat to houseboat is by Shikara, so pack with that short transfer in mind, particularly for heavier bags.

Check In And Check Out Timing

Let us know your houseboat's check in window so the pickup lines up without a long wait at the ghat.

Return Transfers

Book your departure transfer at the same time if you already know your onward travel date, or confirm it closer to the date, whichever is easier for you.

Fleet Options

Choose Your Vehicle

Sedan (Etios or Dzire)

Up to 4 passengers, a comfortable choice for the transfer to and from the ghat.

SUV (Innova or Innova Crysta)

The best service ever received! They helped in planning the trip. Offered lots of good options for hotel and house boat at discounted rate. They were available every time for the queries. The driver was polite and helpful. The vehicle was in good condition. The driver was very knowledgeable about all good places — be it eating points, or important shops like places where original cricket bats are made, where we can get original dry fruits, pashmina shawl etc. Unlike other travel packages using this provided us the complete flexibility of doing changes and checking out new places. We could call them at night 9pm and they were responsive. They made this family trip with parents, a completely wonderful experience! Must recommend!
