Route Overview: Srinagar to Manasbal Lake
The journey from Srinagar to Manasbal Lake spans approximately 25 kilometers. Most drivers prefer the Hazratbal–Ganderbal route, which skirts the eastern bank of Dal Lake before joining NH 1 at Bemina. You’ll pass through Mujgund village, with its terraced orchards, and cross the Kubber Marg Bridge. On busy days, traffic at Nallah Bagh can slow you for ten minutes—but views of lotus blooms and migratory birds make it worthwhile.
Travel time typically ranges from 45 minutes to one hour, depending on roadworks near the Ganderbal bypass. Fancy a quick stop at a roadside stall for Harissa or a samosa?
