So glad we began our trip to Kashmir here. The boat is beautiful and peaceful with a glorious outlook over the lake. Sunrise and sunsets were knockout and the rooms are spacious with en suite shower rooms. Breakfast was included and different every day, We met Ajaz at Srinagar airport and knew immediately we had made a good choice. He was helpful and knowledgeable, with lots of great local stories which gave the whole experience an extra dimension. The boat itself is beautiful and so spacious; it's a wonderful place to birdwatch and we spent hours looking at egrets, kingfishers and herons as they came so close to where we were sitting. Sounds like a cliché but it really did feel like a home from home. Wonderful.

It’s a very quaint and peaceful houseboat with all the basic amenities well provided for . We stayed here for few days during the time which it both rained and was sunny and both the times it was a wonderful memorable experience with the views of the lake being exquisite in both the rainy and sunny days . The houseboat is located on the banks of the nageen lake and is accessible via a cute public garden . Best thing about this place is easy accessiblity to land as you don’t need to hire a boat everytime you want to commute as it’s right on the banks . If anyone wants a Shikara ride it can be arranged easily with the boat coming for pick up right at the main deck / balcony . The houseboat is big with spacious living room .. dining .. and 2 bedrooms with attached bath . A big family can comfortably stay here . We occupied one room which can easily accommodate 3 people and its windows directly opened on the lake which was really scenic. You can even sit out on the roof or the deck and enjoy the scenery . As far as the hospitality is concerned it is so warm and welcoming..everyone made us feel like family and took care of all our needs. And we had both breakfast and dinner at the boat and the dinners were impeccable with the taste still lingering on in memory. All in all it was a memorable stay with no complaints and I would personally thank all the hosts and owners for making our stay such a pleasure.

We drove all the way from Lucknow- our destination being Leh/Ladakh.....entry through Kashmir and exit through Himachal Pradesh! Our first main stoppage was Srinagar at Lily of Nageen-! Very congenial staff, neat and clean room, hygienically smart washroom. Food served to us was authentically Kashmiri dishes- and my husband and I relished them. The caretakers ( there are 3 houseboats that belong under the name- Lily of Nageen) are very approachable and helpful. It was a pleasure to stay there.....gives one a sense of security. Kudos to the owner and the helpers!

Great few days staying with Ajaz on the Lily. Staff couldn’t be more helpful , nothing was too much trouble . Food was excellent . Would highly recommend this houseboat on the quieter Nageen Lake as opposed to the hustle and bustle of Dal Lake where the houseboats are shoulder to shoulder . Would certainly return.

When we decided to go to Kashmir for a trip with my family and Friends, I thought about Lily of Nageen first as one of my close friends stayed in this houseboat(few years back) and she has written a blog about her stay, and she mentioned that her stay and people over there are awesome. With this feedback, I thought let me also approach Ajaz (owner of this property) and check for bookings. Talk with him was so comfortable and he provided us lot of suggestions on where to go, which time is good etc. We finally decided to stay here for around 4 days which was the best decision we made. Facilities in the boat are good, and dinner cooked by his family made us feel like home food. Mehraj who is the caretaker of this property always made us feel we are at home and Nadeem bhai who took us to all the places around was knowledgeable of surroundings. We literally explored Srinagar locals, street food, Sunday bazar in Lal chowk, Mosque, Church and Shankaracharya on one day without feeling stressed. We felt it is really worth the money and we really enjoyed wakening every morning with bird chirps and wonderful feel when we sit in the balcony of this boat with lake view. We really had good time and looking forward for next visit in future to the same property.

Stayed at lily of nageen from 24th to 26th sep 2024. Amazing location and scrumptious food. It's a place where you enjoy your stay. The Karnai family makes you feel not only welcome but takes care of you as a family. They make travel arrangements for you and also recommends a good itinerary. Thank you for making our stay a memorable one.

We had a lovely peaceful stay, loved looking at the lake and also felt we were really well looked after. We organized a city tour and shikara ride with our hosts as well as eating lovely food prepared for us for breakfast and supper. We would love to come back and recommend Lily if Nigeen, and her hosts, to everyone.
我四月底住在这里。船库毗邻一个维护精美的公园。纳吉恩湖似乎有点远，是一个很安静的湖。内部是一个美丽的空间，周围环绕着传统的克什米尔工艺品，浴室保持干净并且有热水。从船上看到的风景也非常美丽。四月底天气还很冷，工作人员很热情，很细心地让保温瓶和热水瓶保持滚烫，很暖心的服务。 丈夫在世界各地工作过，他和我谈论了各种各样的事情，包括世界、克什米尔和宗教。他们还迅速安排了城市内及周边观光的出租车包车，以及前往***的共享出租车。 虽然由于天气原因我们没能去***，但我们退房后他们仍然继续检查山口的情况，并在我们改变计划时给了我们很多关于交通选择的建议。 这是我第一次来克什米尔，我不知道从左到右该去哪里，但他们教我历史和文化，给我旅行建议，对我真的很好。我由衷地表示感谢。 非常感谢您给我们带来了一次精彩的斯利那加之旅。 下次去克什米尔我还想住这里。 非常感谢！
