14 Jul 2019, Day 2
We were supposed to fly off from Delhi to Srinagar at 740am today. At the last minute we received an email informing flight delay to 1015am.
We then leave the hotel at 7am and arrived T3 Delhi Airport at 730am. Delhi Airport is very convenient - prayer rooms are available, halal food or vegetarian are also available.
Landed Srinagar Airport at 1145am (1hr+). Its very strict here where photography is not allowed at the airport. Roaming is also not available for foreign simcard, and to make it worse, foreigners are not allowed to buy local simcard. This is due to recent conflicts happening here in Srinagar region so the government increased security level.
At the airport, foreigners are also required to register upon arrival.
We then took the prepaid taxi, going to boathouse at Dal Lake cost varies ie. Rs830 (2 pax), Rs930 (4 pax)
Together with Abg Zarin and wife, we head to Ghat no. 17 (boat stn.) to get our boat transfer to our houseboat (Light house)
-----
At 5pm, we went to Khayam Chowk for out street food tour. Our guide, Zahid came to greet us at the BBQ restaurant and offered us grilled mutton. We then took a stroll around the old city while trying the local foods.
Our trip ended at around 8pm before we head back to the hotel.
