Srinagar, Shankaracharya Temple and Dal Lake Tour Overview

This itinerary is designed for a two-day trip to Srinagar, focusing on the main attractions and providing an estimated cost for private cabs. Please note that cab rates can vary based on the season, type of vehicle, and your negotiation skills.

Cab Rates (Approximate per day):

Sedan (Etios/Dzire): ₹2,500 - ₹3,000 per day

SUV (Innova/Xylo): ₹3,300 - ₹4,000 per day

Tempo Traveller (13-17 seater): ₹5,000 - ₹7,000 per day

These rates typically include a set number of kilometers and a driver allowance for a full day (8-10 hours). Always confirm what is included (fuel, tolls, taxes) and any extra charges for additional distance or hours.

Cab Rate (Hotel/Dal Lake to Srinagar Airport): Included in your package, or around ₹1,200 - ₹1,500 if booked separately.

Note: If you are staying for more than two days, or prefer a different itinerary, you can opt for day trips to nearby locations like Gulmarg, Pahalgam, or Sonamarg. These are full-day excursions and a dedicated cab would be required.

Cab Rate (Srinagar to Gulmarg Day Trip): ₹3,000 - ₹4,000 (Sedan)

Cab Rate (Srinagar to Pahalgam Day Trip): ₹3,000 - ₹4,000 (Sedan)

Cab Rate (Srinagar to Sonamarg Day Trip): ₹3,000 - ₹4,000 (Sedan)

Important Considerations:

Negotiation: Cab rates are often negotiable, especially if you are hiring for multiple days.

Local Cabs: In some places like Gulmarg, you might need to hire a separate local cab from the taxi union for local sightseeing as outside vehicles are not allowed for inner-circle movements.

Packages: Many tour operators offer all-inclusive 2-day Srinagar packages that cover accommodation, meals, transfers, and sightseeing, which can sometimes be more cost-effective than booking everything separately.
