- Route
- Airport Road via Rangreth and the city to Dalgate
The airport sits on the south-western edge of Srinagar at Humhama. The drive to Dalgate runs through Rangreth and the city centre; traffic around Lal Chowk decides whether it takes thirty minutes or closer to an hour.
Houseboat guests are dropped at the ghat their houseboat uses — Ghat numbers along the Boulevard, or the Nigeen side for Nigeen Lake boats — where a shikara takes you across. Tell us the houseboat name when you book.
Going back to the airport
Security checks begin at the airport entrance gate, well before the terminal, and queues can be long. Leave Dal Lake at least three hours before a domestic flight.
