Work

Business hours

Srinagar follows normal business hours but most shops, banks and offices shut for several hours at lunchtime on Friday for Muslim prayers. If you have urgent business, get it done on Thursday, just to be safe. Although there is no official curfew, Srinagar is eerily silent after 8pm. Don’t rely on being able to find a rickshaw or shikara (gondola-like taxi boat) after hours.
