🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Lal Chowk (city centre) → Hotel Mount Inn, Boulevard Road
💡 Check the meter is reset at the start – many drivers will quote INR 200 instead. If you're carrying luggage, ask for a 'six-seater' auto; standard ones are tight for bags.
Zero Bridge bus stop → Hotel Mount Inn, near Dal Gate
💡 These buses run along the Boulevard Road and stop right outside Dal Gate, a 3-min walk to the hotel. Have exact change because drivers rarely carry small notes. Avoid during peak hours (9am–11am, 4pm–6pm) when they get packed with college students.
Nehru Park ghat (south Dal Lake) → Hotel Mount Inn water gate (if you prefer lake access)
💡 This is the scenic workaround when road traffic clogs Boulevard Road. Note the hotel's water gate is only for drop-off, not check-in – you then walk 50 metres uphill to the main entrance. Carry a small bag; no wheeled suitcases allowed.
Sheikh ul-Alam International Airport (SXR) → Hotel Mount Inn, Boulevard Road
💡 Book at the prepaid counter inside the arrivals hall before stepping out – street touts outside will quote triple. For a smoother ride, use the state-run JKTDC taxi counter; they charge fixed rates and drivers know the hotel's exact lane near Dal Lake.

Top Attractions in Srinagar
💡 Walk from Nehru Park ghat to the floating market area (near Zero Bridge) around 6pm for golden-hour light and fewer touts.
💡 Avoid Friday prayers (12-2pm) when it's packed; weekday mornings are best. Cover head and remove shoes before entering courtyard.
💡 Visit just before sunset; the light on the lake is spectacular and security lets you stay until dusk.
💡 Take a picnic and sit on the grass behind the third terrace for the best photo angle without the crowds.
💡 Go early morning (7-8am) to beat crowds and find a quiet spot by the central water channel.
