Lodging - Srinagar - Butts' Clermont Houseboats

Our most popular lodging at Srinagar is Butts' Clermont Houseboats. There are hundreds of houseboats on Srinagar's surrounding lakes, but Butts' is the only houseboat lodgings we are aware of which combines a secluded and private location with glorious views across Dal Lake to snow covered peaks.

Immediately next door is a memorial to Kashmir's most famous statesman, Sheikh Abdullah. The beautiful Hazratbal Mosque, famed throughout Kashmir for housing a hair of the Prophet Mohammed, is within easy walking distance. If you wish, you can view these attractions from the water during an early morning shikara ride to Srinagar's floating vegetable markets.

Dal Lake is home to numerous birds, including many who migrate from Siberia for the winter. Apart from the delightful birdlife, visitors to Butts' Clermont over the years have included "intellectuals from different countries, Ambassadors, State Guests, Heads and Members of International Organisations, Film Personalities, Rock Stars, Business People, Writers, Journalists".

Please book early to secure accommodation at this truly unique establishment.
