Alaska Group of Houseboat

Alaska house boat is ideally located near Ghat 12 of Dal lake. Four of us stayed there on 27th September. The stay was very comfortable. Mr Ibrahim is a great host.

Your hosts shouldn't be as money minded as these guys were. So when you book a houseboat, you are supposed to be taken to the houseboat and dropped back once each for free. So when for the shikara ride we didn't go with their guy but negotiated a deal with someone else, they got pissed and told me that they wouldn't take care of the returning trip to the ghat. They said it's my problem now. So i had to call the boat and ultimately pay the rower for dropping us off - which should have been complimentary. Terrible experience really. Once you reach the houseboat, you are stuck. You can't go anywhere unless you are ready to pay for it. As for the services, the wifi was not available, tv wasn't there. So we were stuck there doing nothing and getting bored. I would advise the other travellers to book a hotel and get a shikara ride separately so that your freedom to move around is not compromised and you are not at the mercy of these greedy hosts who only care about money and nothing about their guests. Do not stay here.
