The story of The Jewel in Crown is deeply rooted in Kashmir’s timeless tradition of hospitality. Long before luxury travel became a trend, our family welcomed guests with warmth, homemade meals, and heartfelt care on the tranquil waters of Dal Lake in Srinagar.
What began as a humble houseboat experience slowly evolved into a refined hospitality brand — built on trust, consistency, and genuine guest relationships. Generation after generation, we carried forward the values of respect, comfort, and personalized service, blending traditional Kashmiri craftsmanship with modern amenities.
Over the years, The Jewel in Crown grew not just in size, but in vision. We carefully restored interiors, upgraded facilities, and curated experiences that reflect both cultural heritage and contemporary elegance. Every carved panel, every cozy room, and every scenic window tells a story — of artisanship, perseverance, and love for hosting travelers from around the world.
Our journey has been shaped by thousands of guests whose smiles, feedback, and returning visits inspired us to continuously improve. From honeymooners and families to solo explorers, each guest has become part of our story.
Today, The Jewel in Crown stands as a symbol of graceful living on water — offering peaceful escapes, breathtaking views, and hospitality that feels personal. While we’ve grown with time, our heart remains the same: to make every visitor feel at home in Kashmir.
