Taj Dal View, Srinagar

Where is Taj Dal View in Srinagar, and how far is it from the airport?

Taj Dal View stands at Kralsangri in Brein, Srinagar 191121, on a clifftop that its own page describes as six acres between the Zabarwan Mountain Range and Dal Lake. The Taj page prints the address but no distance, so the table below sets out what four listings say.

Read together, the listings put the airport between 16 and 25 km away, and the shorter figure is a straight line, not a road distance. For the road, plan on a transfer rather than a short hop; our Srinagar airport taxi page explains how a pickup is arranged.

How many rooms does Taj Dal View have, and how big are they?

The hotel has 100 rooms and 3 suites, and its rooms and suites page lists eight categories, counting the Superior Room in king and twin versions. Floor areas below are converted from the square metres printed on the Taj rooms and suites page.

Taj describes Deluxe rooms on the ground floor as having a garden sit-out, and those one floor up as having two balconies. It describes the Superior rooms as lake facing, and the Luxury Suite as looking over Dal Lake and Srinagar city. Taj counts all 103 rooms and suites as Dal Lake facing, so ask for the floor and the view to be named in your quote.

Is the pool at Taj Dal View open in winter?

No. The Taj page carries a notice that the swimming pool stays shut between 1 November and 30 April on account of the cold, so expect it to be closed for a stay in those six months. The page lists it as an infinity-edge pool and also marks it as closed in winter.

The spa and the fitness centre are listed separately from the pool. The wellness page names massages, aromatherapy, traditional Indian rituals, body scrubs and wraps, and describes a fitness centre with cardio and resistance equipment. If a pool matters to you, choose May to October for the trip and ask the hotel when it reopens.

Which restaurants does Taj Dal View have, and is alcohol served?

The hotel has two restaurants and one bakery, and it states that it does not serve alcohol. A Taj page also lists alfresco dining and a shikara dining experience on the Vista Deck among its highlights.

What are the check-in time, pet rule and airport transfer?

What can you visit from Taj Dal View?

Taj suggests Hazratbal Shrine, Shankaracharya Temple, Indira Gandhi Tulip Garden, Nishat Garden, Pari Mahal, the Mughal Gardens and Dal Lake itself as outings from the hotel. Trip.com puts the tulip garden 1.7 km away. Our Srinagar guide orders these stops across a day or two, and a shikara ride on Dal Lake can be fitted into the same plan.

Who does this hotel suit?

Couples can compare our Srinagar Couple Tour, listed at ₹18,600 for 6 days, and the Kashmir Honeymoon, listed at ₹21,550 for 10 days. The listed price depends on group size and dates, and a stay at a hotel such as this one is quoted separately, on request.

How do you book Taj Dal View with Soun Kashmir?

Tell us the dates, the number of rooms and what you hope to see, through the contact page, by phone or on WhatsApp. Ask the planner to compare the options, explain what each rate includes and confirm the rooms before you pay. A planner can add a cab with a driver-cum-guide, the airport pickup and a houseboat night, all in one quote.

Soun Kashmir is an independent travel company and is not part of the hotel, so the stay is confirmed with the property and the hotel's own terms apply. For other options, see our Srinagar hotel booking page and the wider hotels page.

Where do the facts on this page come from?

On 6 November 2026 we read the Taj Hotels pages for Taj Dal View: the overview, rooms and suites, restaurants and wellness pages. The 2011 opening comes from a Business Today report by Naseer Ganai dated April 2011. The distance figures come from the Trip.com UK listing, the Spalba venue listing and the boutindia.com listing, which are third-party sites and disagree with each other. The hotel's rates, hours and rules change, so confirm them with the hotel when you book.
