Srinagar's Garden Gems

Srinagar’s landscape is defined by 17th-century Mughal gardens and expansive modern floral displays. This collection includes the terraced layouts of Shalimar Bagh and Nishat Bagh, characterized by Persian charbagh designs, stone water channels, and centuries-old Chinar trees. The list also features the Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden, the largest in Asia, and Badam Waari’s historic almond orchards. These sites offer insights into imperial history and regional botany, situated between the Zabarwan Range and Dal Lake.
