About the Srinagar to Amritsar taxi route
This route marks the end of a Kashmir trip, and it's a long one — 410 km in about 9 hours — so we pick up from Dal Lake houseboats, Lal Chowk or any Srinagar hotel early in the morning. An early start matters here: it lets us cover the Jawahar Tunnel and Banihal stretch in daylight, which is both safer and faster than a late departure.
Road status on this stretch can change with the season — snowfall or landslide-related closures do happen — and our hill-experienced drivers track conditions and tell you honestly before departure if a delay or reroute looks likely, rather than starting the trip blind. After the long drive, you can connect onward to Amritsar Airport or a Golden Temple visit, though we usually suggest a short rest first.
Why book this route with Royal Route Travel
- Pickup from Dal Lake houseboats, Lal Chowk or any Srinagar hotel
- Early departure planned so the Jawahar Tunnel/Banihal stretch is covered in daylight
