Route Overview
Our Srinagar to Aharbal Taxi Service covers approximately 75 kilometres along one of Kashmir’s most scenic stretches. Departing Srinagar’s Dal Gate, you traverse NH44 past Pampore—known for ruby-red saffron fields—before dipping into Awantipora’s archaeological ruins. The road snakes through Anantnag’s market town, skirts the Achabal Mughal gardens, then climbs a ridge into the Kulgam district. Finally, the taxi eases down winding lanes flanked by pine and fir before arriving at Aharbal Waterfall. The drive takes about 2½ hours under normal traffic—long enough to savour a thermos of Kashmiri kahwa, short enough to arrive fresh for an afternoon by the falls.
