Moon of Kashmir's three boats have attractive balconies and a pleasant location. Two boats are comfortable A-category places; the third is a no-frills B-category with two bedrooms sharing one bathroom and without any lake views (but you can use the other boat's balcony). The owners offer fairly reliable trekking excursions.
