Everything You Need to Know About Hazratbal Shrine, Srinagar
Planning your visit? Here's the complete guide for first-time pilgrims and tourists — location, visiting hours, dress code, and what to expect.
Location
Hazratbal Shrine is located on the western shore of Dal Lake in Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir. The shrine sits at an elevation of approximately 1,585 metres and offers a panoramic view of Dal Lake and the Zabarwan Mountain Range behind it.
Significance
Hazratbal is one of the most sacred Muslim shrines in Kashmir and all of South Asia. It is believed to house a relic — a strand of hair of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), known as Moi-e-Muqqadas. The shrine draws millions of pilgrims each year, especially during religious observances like Eid and Milad-un-Nabi.
Visiting Hours
Hazratbal Shrine is open daily from approximately 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The relic (Moi-e-Muqqadas) is displayed publicly on specific religious occasions. Weekday mornings (especially Tuesday and Wednesday) see the lowest crowd density — ideal for a peaceful visit.
Dress Code & Entry Rules
Modest dress is mandatory at Hazratbal Shrine. Women must cover their head and wear full-length clothing. Men must also dress modestly — shorts are not permitted. Shoes are removed before entering the main prayer area. Stoles and head coverings are available at the entrance for those who need them.
Photography
Photography is generally permitted in the outer courtyard and gardens. Photography inside the main shrine hall or near the relic chamber is restricted. Always ask your guide or a shrine official before taking photos to respect the sanctity of the space.
What's Nearby
Hazratbal is located close to Naseem Bagh (garden of morning breeze), the University of Kashmir campus, Dal Lake's northwestern corner, and Dargah Hazratbal Road — lined with local eateries and Kashmiri street food stalls. The famous Char Chinar island is visible from the shrine's lakeside promenade.

Srinagar Airport to Hazratbal: Complete Guide 2026
How Do You Get from Srinagar Airport to Hazratbal Shrine?
The most reliable and straightforward way to reach Hazratbal Shrine from Sheikh ul-Alam International Airport Srinagar is by pre-booked cab. The distance is approximately 15–18 km, covered in 25–40 minutes depending on the time of day and traffic on the city's main arterial roads. Auto-rickshaws and shared taxis are available outside the airport but come without fixed fares, no accountability for delays, and no name-board pickup — creating unnecessary stress on arrival.
Imbibe Travels eliminates all of that. Book your cab before your flight, share your flight number, and your driver is dispatched based on your actual arrival time — not a fixed schedule that ignores delays.
Which Route Does the Cab Take from Airport to Hazratbal?
The standard cab route from Srinagar Airport to Hazratbal Shrine follows the Nowpora–Bemina Bypass before joining the inner Srinagar road network heading northwest toward Dal Lake. The approach to Hazratbal typically passes through Batmaloo, Chanpora, and the Boulevard Road stretch along Dal Lake's western shore before arriving at the shrine's main gate. The entire route is well-paved and accessible year-round.
Is the Airport Transfer Safe for Night Arrivals?
Yes. Imbibe Travels operates 24/7, including late-night and very early morning airport arrivals. All drivers are verified Kashmiri locals with a documented booking trail. Your driver's name and vehicle number are shared with you on WhatsApp before dispatch, giving you full visibility of who is picking you up — a level of accountability that roadside cabs and app-based services arriving from outside Kashmir cannot consistently provide.
Can I Visit Hazratbal and Srinagar Sights on the Same Day as My Arrival?
Absolutely. Many travelers book an airport-to-Hazratbal transfer and then extend it into a half-day or full-day sightseeing trip. Common extensions from Hazratbal include a shikara ride on Dal Lake (5 minutes from the shrine), Nishat Bagh and Shalimar Bagh on the lake's eastern shore, and Shankaracharya Temple on Shankaracharya Hill. Imbibe Travels can build a customised same-day itinerary from the airport — ask on WhatsApp when booking your transfer.
Tips for First-Time Visitors to Hazratbal via Airport
What to Carry from the Airport to Hazratbal?
- Head covering for women (dupatta or stole — also available at shrine entrance)
- Socks — you remove shoes before entering the main hall
- Cash — small denominations for donations and local eateries near the shrine
- Government ID — sometimes checked at the shrine's security post
- Warm layer — Srinagar's mornings are cool even in summer months
Best Time of Day to Visit Hazratbal
Early morning (7–9 AM): The shrine is serene, the light on Dal Lake is spectacular, and crowd density is lowest. Ideal for pilgrims seeking a contemplative visit.
Afternoon (2–4 PM): Moderate crowd, full sunlight on the marble dome — best for photographs of the shrine exterior.
Avoid Fridays 12–2 PM: Friday noon prayers draw very large crowds. If your flight arrives on a Friday morning, plan a brief rest at your hotel before visiting.
How Long Should You Spend at Hazratbal?
Most visitors spend 45 minutes to 2 hours at Hazratbal depending on whether they are visiting for prayer, tourism, or both. The shrine's courtyard and lakeside promenade can be explored in about 30 minutes. A full visit including inner halls, the garden area, and time for prayer or quiet reflection typically takes 1.5–2 hours.
Can I Book a Return Cab from Hazratbal to the Airport?
Yes. Imbibe Travels handles return transfers from Hazratbal to Srinagar Airport at the same fixed fare. Book the return at the time of your arrival transfer — your driver can wait at the shrine or we arrange a separate pickup time that matches your departure schedule.
What Passengers Say About Our Airport Transfers
Our flight from Delhi was delayed by 40 minutes. The Imbibe Travels driver was still there at arrivals, name-board and all. No extra charge, no fuss. Dropped us directly at Hazratbal's main gate. Exactly what you want after a long journey.
Booked the Innova Crysta for my parents (senior citizens) and myself. The driver helped load luggage without being asked, the vehicle was spotless, and he explained the route as we drove past Dal Lake. Genuinely warm Kashmiri hospitality.
I landed at 11 PM on a cold February night. The car was warm, the driver was waiting, and I was at my hotel near Hazratbal in 35 minutes. WhatsApp confirmation before landing made it completely stress-free. Highly recommend for solo travelers.
