Thank you to my friends at the American Embassy School in New Delhi. I asked the teachers there for a recommendation of a place to go. On my 1st trip to India I did not want to travel a lot or feel insecure, so they sent me and my husband to Butt's Clermont Houseboats. I was looking for a quiet... More

Just coming back from Srinagar where we had just a great, great time!!! I was a bit apprehensive about going in a houseboat instead of a hotel, havin read so much in the touristic guides about cheating, harassing...nothing like that at all. Mr Butt was very charming and cheerfull when I made the reservation, we had a perfect driver waiting... More

Our stay at Mr Gulam Nabi Butt's houseboats at Naseem Bagh was indeed an experience ! We stayed on his honeymoon boat! and so it was albeit 43 yrs down the line !. His warm welcomming hug ! Ramzan kaka's ready attendance , the delicious Kashmiri cuisine ! Need we say more. Any one who has NOT stayed on a... More

Our stay had a perfect beginning - warm hugs from Mr Gulam Butt, the gentlemanly proprietor who became more like family than our host by the end of our 7 night stay, and a pot of piping hot Kashmiri tea delivered by the smiling Ramzan! Butts Houseboats are on the shores of Dal Lake alongside The Mughal built ‘Garden of... More

I had read the reviews in trip advisor and booked a houseboat at Butt's Clermont for a 4night stay. I am very glad I did. These houseboats are unlike any other in Srinagar, they are anchored in an area that's both beautiful and easy to access. You don't need to go in a Shikara to reach the boat. The boats... More

We stayed with Mr Butt and his staff for four nights in July. We were met at Srinagar airport and greeted with a delicious pot of Kashmiri tea when we arrived at the houseboats which are in a secluded spot adjacent to a small Moghul garden. Since another group had extended their stay we were welcomed to the houseboat where... More

My husband and I were booked in for 3 nights - but upon arrival immediately extended our stay to five nights. Unlike all the other scores (thousands in fact) of houseboats, Butts is the only one with a beautiful garden. And most importantly it's in a quiet location with no other houseboat neighbours. We conducted a tour of Srinagar and... More
