The drive from Amritsar to Srinagar
The road to Srinagar is short on distance and long on driving: 430 km, but the last 200 from Jammu climb through Patnitop, Banihal and the Pir Panjal, where the highway narrows, tunnels and queues can add hours. Ten hours of driving is the honest figure, and we plan it as a two-day trip with a night halt at Jammu or Patnitop so you are not on the mountain road after dark. Lakhanpur, Patnitop and Anantnag are the natural stops. May to October is the window most people aim for, with April for the tulip garden in Srinagar. Once you are there, Dal lake and a shikara ride, the Mughal gardens at Nishat and Shalimar, and a day trip to Gulmarg are the first things to do. We quote for the number of days your plan needs.
