You can book houseboats for as low as 2000 per night for a double room to 20k per night... Breakfast and Dinner inclusive packages will cost higher... Try to book a houseboat as per your budget which has access by road otherwise you will have to shell out Rs. 300 to 500 each time you want to go to and from the houseboat..

I prefered Nigeen lake. Mount View house boat run by Ayub Shah was perfect for me as it is in a nice location. Perfect service as well. Choose a houseboat as you can go to a hotel anywhere.

1. not at all --- you can very well enjoy the stay in houseboats 2. it is pacca safe to stay-- people are very cooperative and they will guide you according to your taste .though it is little interior you can relish the beauty and calm atmosphere of Kashmir well

yes it is very clean and hygienic,need not to woory we stayed for three days ,three family

just enjoy ,it's very clean

no you will not feel it ,it's really very nice place to live in

Forgot to mention that the duration of ride was around 3 hrs 30 mnts.

no doubt abt house boat.but the boats are not movable .its in dal lake, nagin lake.but u will get bore in house boat for 5days.if u really want to enjoy in kashmir ,go for house boat max 2days.remaining days stay in hotels.
