Known as the paradise on earth, Srinagar, the summer
capital of the state of Jammu & Kashmir, is nestled in the beautiful Kashmir
valley, surrounded by soaring snow-clad mountains midst the soft murmur of
river Jhelum and idyllic lakes.
Formerly the palace residence of the maharajas, InterContinental The Grand
Palace Srinagar, ringed by the majestic Himalayan ranges, overlooks the
picturesque Dal Lake. Originally built in 1910, this twin storey heritage
property with its sprawling lawns has been carefully restored to its former
glory and is today a full facility destination.
The palace is located 15 kms from the airport and just minutes away from the
city’s key historic attractions.
