  Maravillosa estancia con encanto en Kashmir!

  Estuvimos alojados desde el 6 al 10 de Julio. Mr Gulam Butt nos recibió con pétalos de rosas y tanto él como nuestro "mayordomo" Modha Kaka y el resto de los empleados fueron extremadamente atentos. Preciosas vistas al lago Dal y a las montañas desde nuestro encantador houseboat. Tranquilos paseos en Shikara por el lago directamente desde nuestro barco. Tea Kashmiri con pastas servido en el jardín o en el porche de nuestro barco. Deliciosa y más que abundante comida típica de Kashmir. Nuestro conductor Shakil nos condujo con seguridad tanto por la ciudad de Srinagar como en nuestra excursion a Sonmarg. Nuestra hija de 3 años disfrutó mucho jugando con el agua en los jardines, los paseos en Shikara por el lago, paseo en pony en Sonmarg... En definitiva una estancia muy agradable y totalmente recomendable.

  The most charming place I have ever stayed

  Staying at Butt's Clermont is like staying in another era--thanks not least to the hospitality of Mr. Ghulam Butt, who has been running this business in his father's footsteps for decades. Even before you arrive, you will get a taste of his exceptional care for guests and their wellbeing (calling to check on dietary preferences, airport pick-up needs, etc.). As soon as you step on board, you will find yourself treated like a venerated member of the family. You'll be fed delicious meals in your private dining room, and Mr. Butt will personally help you plan every detail of your stay in Srinagar--shikara ride, local tours, etc.. The boats are located in a secluded area of Dal Lake, in walking distance of the Hazratbal shrine. Each one (we had a chance to tour them all) features beautifully carved interiors, traditional decor, and rear decks where you can sit on a banquette, sip your kahwa, and watch the waterbirds. This is not five-star luxury in the way more conventional hotels provide (bathrooms have seen better days, furnishings are a bit faded, etc.). But it is something even rarer, a kind of travel experience that it's astonishing and wonderful to discover still exists.

  Heavenly houseboats

  Butt's Clermont Houseboats are unique. They have a view over Lake Dal. They are constructed in beautifully carved cedar wood and decorated with, amongst others, the crewel curtains so typical of the craftwork of Kashmir. They have full bathrooms, with even a bath. The meals are typical Kashmiri, totally mouthwatering, brought across from the kitchen and beautifully served. If required, there is a wonderful wooden stove and hot water bottles put in the bed at night. A truly unforgettable experience.

  The best place to stay in Kashmir: Butts Clermont Houseboats

  The kindness of Gulam Butt as he welcomes his guests, the attention of Ramzan who serves delicious meals cooked by Madho, with the boatman of Kashmir, Lassa, on hand to take you for a shikara boat ride on Dal lake make staying on Butts Clermont Houseboats an unforgettable experience. The location, with the houseboats moored along side upper Dal lake is superb, waking in the morning to see the snow capped mountains mirrored in the lake or the reflection of the moon at night. A wonderful excursion was visiting the homes of those who make the world famous pashmina shawls, climbing up the hill to visit Hari Parbat fort with spectacular views over the sprawling city of Srinagar and walking amongst the beautiful flowers in the Nishat bagh, the terraced Mughal gardens. I would go back in a heartbeat!
