Situated on Dal Lake, Houseboat Murtaza is a houseboat and it harks back to the era when romance in Kashmir blossomed in these floating hotels. Indeed, the backdrop of water and the serenity invokes romance and this is what the houseboat aspires to. It is located at the distance of 28 kms from the Sheikh UL Airport while the Sri Nagar Railway station is 22 kms away and the local bus stand is 6 kms away. Rooms are offered only in deluxe category. Ambience of Dal Lake also opens a vista to understand how the local life unfolds through different durations during the day time. The houseboat allows children up to the age of 5 years to stay complementary and it does permit smoking and drinking inside the premises, but does not allow pets to accompany the guests. The view of setting sun sitting in the covered porch of the houseboat is a view worth savoring and with a cup of hot kahwah in hand the romance just blossoms.
