Our story

A legacy afloat

Traditional Kashmiri artistry, thoughtful hosting, and a slower way to experience the valley.

A home shaped by the lake

New Peony Group of Houseboats began with a simple belief: the most memorable journeys are made of place, people, and time. On Nigeen Lake, every carved panel and woven carpet carries a piece of Kashmir's living heritage.

Hospitality with a human touch

Our houseboats are looked after like family homes. Mornings begin with a view across calm water, afternoons invite a cup of kahwa, and evenings glow under the warmth of carved walnut interiors.

From the first shikara pickup to your last breakfast aboard, our team is here to make Kashmir feel easy, personal, and entirely yours.
