Houseboat or hotel in Srinagar?

A Dal Lake houseboat is moored in place and works like a floating heritage hotel, with carved cedar interiors, a sitting room and a deck over the water, reached by shikara. Hotels on the Boulevard or in Rajbagh give more space and easy road access. Most travellers do one or two nights on a houseboat and the rest in a hotel; see where to stay in Srinagar.

Best time for a Srinagar tour

April to June brings the Tulip season and green gardens, September and October bring golden chinar trees and clear skies, and December to February turns Srinagar into a quiet snowy city. Srinagar is open all year, which makes it the safest base for any season.
