We chose Veena Palace due to the positive reviews on TA and are happy we did. Firdous was very attentive to our needs and so were his entire family. We enjoyed discussing all manner of subjects together and were in awe of their knowledge, understanding and willingness to share and teach others about lake life, Srinigar life and Kashmir life...

We found Veena Palace thanks to a recommendation on a traveller's forum. And it was the best place we could possibly find in Srinagar! Firdous and his family are extremely helpful, he can arrange all the trips you may want to take in Kashmir but if you want to find your own paths he will not push you. He will... More

The Veena Palace Houseboat is a category C houseboat. It is not far from Ghat 7 but not in the first row. So it's quiet and peaceful. The boat has good rooms, sit down toilets are provided, and also hot water. The owners are friendly and helpful and very open minded. There is a cosy room to sit and eat.... More

another 100% positive feedback. Whether you want to see the area or just sit on the boat with a book, thats the place to do it. Also one of the nicest people I have met while in India. Avoid spending/wasting time at the bus station trying to figure out who to trust, just contact Veena Palace in advance and head... More

I was travelling alone in India for one and a half month and spent my last days in Srinagar. If you want to find a good houseboat here for an acceptable price you will definitely have a lot of trouble: houseboat owners are trying to catch you everywhere, sometimes even with wrong informations. After some bad experiences on different houseboats... More

Me and a few of my friends arrived to Srinagar in September 2011. We met Firdous (the houseboat owner) just by chance on a bus station in Srinagar where he was offering his accomodation as well as many other Indians. However unlike the others he was not shouting at us, he was quite and polite. After we had a look... More

We arrived late at night in Srinagar and on finding all the hotels on land were very expensive, we found these houseboats in the Rough Guide to India, and called them up. Firdous came to pick us up within half an hour and took us to his beautiful houseboat, handily located on the lake, ie far enough from the noise... More

We stumbled upon this beautiful boat on the internet whilst in Dehli hoping to escape the busy atmosphere. The moment we arrived we were at peace.
