The Orchard Retreat & Spa, Srinagar

Where is The Orchard Retreat & Spa, and how far is it from Nigeen Lake and the airport?

It is at Zukura in Naseem Bagh, off Hazratbal Road in Srinagar, and per the hotel's website Nigeen Lake is a ten-minute trip away. That page gives no distance in kilometres, so the table adds the figures from Trip.com.

The airport is therefore well beyond the city centre, so allow a long transfer on arrival and departure days. Trip.com says the hotel offers airport transport and suggests calling ahead; our Srinagar airport taxi page explains how a pickup is arranged.

How many rooms are there, and what types?

The hotel counts 35 rooms in four types, and Trip.com arrives at the same total. The website describes the chalets and the rooms as having private balconies over the lawns, with wide glass panes facing the trees.

Does The Orchard Retreat & Spa have a swimming pool and a spa?

Yes, the hotel lists both. Its website gives an outdoor swimming pool with a children's pool, open from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm every day, with towels provided, and a spa offering aromatherapy and massages. The same page lists a gym, a sauna, a steam bath and a Jacuzzi, and Trip.com marks the spa and the sauna as extra-charge services.

The pool is open-air and the page names no opening months, so ask the hotel whether it runs between November and April. The Poolside Nest, an open-air dining spot beside the pool, works only in clear weather, according to the hotel.

What can you eat and do at the retreat?

No hotel bar is named on the website, and neither listing mentions one. Ask whether any alcohol is available if that matters to you.

What are the check-in time and pet rule?

The hotel's website prints no check-in time. Trip.com gives check-in after 14:00 and check-out before 12:00 with a front desk open 24 hours, and says pets are not allowed. Ask the hotel to confirm both in writing, and ask about heating if you travel between November and March.

Who is an orchard stay for?

The trade-off is distance: a stay here is a longer drive from the airport and the old city than staying at the central Radisson Hotel Srinagar or Four Points by Sheraton Srinagar. For a day trip to the pastures, see Doodhpathri. Families can compare our Kashmir Family Trip, listed at ₹13,250 for 5 days; the listed price depends on group size and dates.

How do you book it 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 shikara ride on Dal Lake to the same 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. The Srinagar hotel booking page compares other stays.

Where do the facts on this page come from?

On 6 November 2026 we read the hotel's own website for the rooms, pool, spa, dining and activities, and the Trip.com India listing for the opening year, distances, check-in and pet rule. The website gives no distance in kilometres and no check-in time, and Trip.com's airport figures differ between its boxes. Rates, hours and rules change, so confirm them with the hotel when you book.
