Which part of Srinagar should you stay in?

What is near a Srinagar stay?
From most Srinagar bases you can reach the Mughal Gardens, Shankaracharya temple, Hari Parbat, Dal Lake and the old bazaars in a day or two. Our Srinagar sightseeing tour plans a half day, our Mughal Gardens guide covers the gardens, and our Old Srinagar heritage walk covers the old city.

Frequently asked questions
Which area of Srinagar is best for tourists?
It depends on what you want. The lake side suits views and shikara rides, the city centre suits convenience, and the river bank or a green setting suits quiet. Tell us your plan and your group, and we suggest the area that fits.
Do Srinagar hotels offer airport pickup?
Many hotels offer a pickup, either free or for a charge. Our hotel pages say complimentary airport transfers are offered on select packages. Ask us, and we confirm what applies to your booking and add our airport taxi if it does not.
What is the usual check-in time at Srinagar hotels?
Each hotel sets its own time, and many use the afternoon. Early arrivals depend on availability. Send us your flight times, and we ask the hotel about an early check-in or a late departure before you pay.
Can I book a Srinagar stay with a shikara ride?
Yes. Many houseboats and lakeside stays include a crossing, and we can add a shikara ride to any plan through our shikara booking page. We state in the quote what is included and what you pay for on the spot.
Are there pet-friendly hotels in Srinagar?
Some hotels accept pets, and the rules differ by property and season. Tell us at the time of enquiry, and we ask the hotel and confirm in writing before you pay.
