The Route
The road leaves Srinagar on the highway south through the valley to Anantnag, then turns off for Kokernag. Several places lie near the same road, so travellers often combine them.
This page covers the transfer or day trip. It does not describe each stop in depth; the south Kashmir pages do.
Travel Time and Stops
Driving time depends on traffic. If you add Achabal or other stops, the total grows, and we say so in the quote rather than promise they all fit in a day.
- Driving time: the time on the road between the pickup and drop-off points; we do not publish a figure without a source.
- Planned stops: any stop you agree with us, which adds time.
- Sightseeing: time at the destination, where the journey is a day trip.
- Waiting: any time waiting for you, which your quote states.
- Total time to allow: the sum of these, agreed with you for your date. We avoid precise arrival promises.

Any rates shown elsewhere on the site are indicative. A transfer quote does not cover a full sightseeing day.
