While in Srinagar, it is recommended to hire a taxi for the entire trip. Negotiate the rate before starting the journey, as hailing a taxi can be expensive. For longer journeys, private cars and buses are also available. Be prepared for long journeys, as most locations are far apart. Total travel costs for the itinerary are estimated to be INR 3000.
If you have more time, check out Asia's largest tulip garden in Srinagar. Or, visit the Pari Mahal and Chashme Shahi Gardens to marvel at the beautiful view of the city and Dal Lake. For those with less time, skip the saffron farm visit and the vegetable market. The rest of the itinerary cannot be shortened as each location requires a full day to fully enjoy the experience.
