In Srinagar local sightseeing tour, you can visit-\n-Shalimar Bagh\n-Nishat Bagh \n-Tulip Garden \n-Chashme Shahi \n-Pari Mahal\n-Hazratbal Shrine\n-Shankaracharya Temple \n-Jamia Masjid\n-Dal Lake\nAbout the gardens covered in Srinagar local sightseeing- \n\nShalimar Bagh-\n\n“If there is a paradise on earth, it is here, it is here, it is here.”\n (Amir Khusrau on Kashmir)\nEveryone would tell you that Shalimar Bagh is a must-visit spot if you are going to Srinagar. And they wouldn't be wrong. Hailed as the crown of Jammu and Kashmir, this magnificent garden, spread over 31 acres, is one of the best Persian gardens that one could visit and the most extensive Mughal garden in India. One could say that the garden symbolizes love—since the Mughal emperor Jahangir built it for his beloved wife Nur Jahan. Although he named the garden 'Faraz Baksh' (which means "the delightful" in Urdu), Shalimar means 'abode of love' in Sanskrit. The park is situated on the shoreline of the serene Dal Lake—which serves as a scenic and soothing view as you stroll around the garden. The garden is probably as close as we can get to a paradise on earth.\n\nOne can also see children and adults alike with joy on their faces as they hop across the stepping stones on the stream. For people who enjoy nature or even those of us who are into horticulture, this place is full of adventure. Persian lilacs dot the garden and are a tourist favorite. The ambiance here is unparalleled, and one often finds people sitting on the adequately positioned benches languorously reading a book or talking to their lovers. If one is into photography, the garden provides plenty of opportunities to take breathtaking photos. Many structures in the park are symmetrically designed and quite ornate and make for aesthetically pleasing and attention-grabbing photos. The garden provides plenty of spaces for the moody ones among us where one can isolate oneself from the crowd and reflect. Or have a leisure stroll, for that matter. The garden is a goldmine for the history buffs as well. The garden has a deep and fascinating history, and its origins can be traced back thousands of years ago. The garden, being built on a flat and containing terraces fitted with fountains, gives you the feeling of perennial comfort and coziness. The garden exemplifies the word "royal," with a magnificent entrance gate and the garden containing a black throne surrounded by water cascades. This throne is where the emperor held the daily court sessions when he sojourned with Nur Jahan to Kashmir. And although the garden has a rich historical heritage, one doesn't feel as if one is among an old public parklet, alone a ruin. It is very well maintained and as elegant as a garden can be. One can think of Shalimar as a sort of resort. One goes there to find peace, solitude, and connect with our beloved and nature all at once. It is a celebration of history, an ode to love, a marvel of architecture, and an exemplar of the heritage of India. It is a bouquet of pleasure, pleasing designs, and magnificent landscapes.\n\nNishat Bagh-\n\n“By discovering nature, you discover yourself.”\n—Maxime Lagacé\nWords fall short of describing the sheer beauty and magnificence of the Nishat Bagh. But if I were forced to describe it in a word, "stunning" would be my first choice. 'Nishat,' in Urdu, means 'joy' or 'gladness', which would make 'Nishat Bagh' the 'Garden of Joy.' The name is fitting. Nishat Bagh is a terraced Mughal garden built on the side of Dal Lake. And although the latter is more significant and attracts a bigger crowd, make no mistake—Nishat Bagh is no less in its brilliance and beauty. The first thing one notices when one visits this garden is the immense and awe-inspiring Zabarwan Mountains.\n\nWe all know that Kashmir has been a muse of the poets and artists of the past, and this is a must-visit spot while visiting Srinagar for fans of Bollywood: this is where many popular songs like 'Lakhon hai nigahon mein' from Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon (1963) were filmed. And those aren't even the only mountains that one gets to see when one experiences Nishat Bagh. The Pir Panjal mountain range flanks the lake and is visible far away in the west. The garden boasts of a rich historical heritage. It was built by Asif Khan, the elder brother of Nur Jahan (the honor in which Shah Jahan built the more famous sister of Nishat Bagh—the Shalimar Bagh). Hence it is not precisely an imperial garden—but which only makes it so much better because it is less hierarchical than other royal Mughal gardens. Hence, one can observe a more significant architectural variance here. One can also notice several periods of Mughal buildings lining the boundary of the garden. For the astrology nerds among you, the garden has to offer its twelve terraces—each one denoting a Zodiac sign.\n\nThere are the private gardens—which were reserved for the women in Asif Khan's household. And then there are the public gardens—which everyone could visit. The ranks and ranks of brightly colored and well-maintained flowers make for a picturesque photoshoot spot for both the amateur and the professional alike. The garden boasts an enormous array of exotic flowers that please the eye as far as one looks. The apparent disadvantage of being less popular than Shalimar garden is a boon in disguise. The relatively unknown nature of the park means that one can be more confident that one wouldn't be met with crowds of tourists—especially in the summer season. The garden's ambiance is only magnified by the fountains in it, which are soothing to the ears but are hypnotizingly enchanting. The calm and serenity of the garden might be jarring at first (in a good way) for those of us who are used to the hustle and bustle of daily lives in metro cities. Take a trip to Nishat Bagh and be assured that you'll come out a different, calmer person—who is in more touch with all things nature.\n\nTulip Garden-\n\n"Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads."\n—Henry David Thoreau\nDo you remember the famous song from the 1981 super hit Silsila where Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha danced in front of a field of tulips? If you want to experience a similar beauty for yourself beyond the screen, look no more. Here is Tulip Garden in Srinagar. Spread over an area of 30 hectares, this is the most extensive tulip garden in Asia. More recent, and hence more traditional, than either Shalimar Bagh and Nishat Bagh, this park is still as charming as either of them. Positioned cozily at the bottom of the Zabarwan Range, one gets to experience the innumerable vibrant tulips along with an awe-inspiring view of the Dal Lake. The best time to visit the Tulip Garden is during the 15-day Tulip festival—an annual celebration of horticulture and nature organized during the spring season by the state government as a part of their efforts to push tourism. And tulips aren't the only offerings here: one can observe more than 40 different varieties of flowers (some imported from Holland) here. Daffodils, Roses, Irises, you name it. Adjacent to the garden is souvenir shops and eateries where one can relish authentic Kashmiri delicacies. Come and fall in love with the tulips of Kashmir. There is a particular divinity in the multitude of colors that the garden presents. People from all over the world come to visit and gaze upon these flowers. One almost feels like one is envisaging an invisible rainbow upon visiting the garden. The perfect adjective for the experience one gets when one sees this garden is "spellbinding." Your visit to Kashmir would be incomplete without visiting this dazzling spectacle. Being the most extensive tulip garden in Asia and the second best tulip garden globally, this place is a source of pride for us Indians. People describe their visiting the garden as being nothing short of spectacular. Photos don't do it justice. The vast arrows of tulips give an authenticity of a terrestrial rainbow. If you are with your partner, you can take long romantic walks in the park. And if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the world, you'll find plenty of comfort and solitude here. The full view is spectacular; then one completely forgets to take out their cameras—something that both budding amateur photographers and professionals travelers would want to do. In short, visiting the Tulip Garden gives you a glimpse into the beautiful world of tulips while providing you with a safe cocoon and letting you soak in the beauty of Kashmir. Come to Tulip Garden and be fascinated with colors.\n\nChashme Shahi-\n\n“Being able to smell the fresh air and disconnect from the news and your phone—there’s nothing like it.”\n—Jason Ward\nThis magnificent garden gets its name from a spring of the same name. The spring is said to have been found by Rupa Bhawani, a prominent female saint of Kashmir, formerly known as 'Chashme Sahibi' (over time, the name changed subtly to 'Chashme Shahi', and it stuck.) Tourists go to this Srinagar attraction to sip the spring water, which is said to have medical benefits. Like the other famous gardens in Srinagar, this one is also a Mughal garden. The garden consists of three terraces from where natural spring water flows. There is a double-storeyed hut built upon the top terrace, which is regarded as the water source. Even in the hottest summers, one will find the water in the spring to be cold. The history of Chashme Shahi is as deep as the spring in it: it was commissioned by the famous Mughal ruler Shah Jahan as a gift for his elder son Dara Shikoh. Ali Mardan undertook the project in 1632 AD. Like Shalimar Bagh and Nishat Garden, this garden also features a backdrop of the Zabarwan Range with an overview of the Dal Lake. This is, albeit the most miniature garden among the three but no less beautiful. Chashme Shahi's architectural style is undeniably reflective of the Mughal love of geometry. From the flights of steps connecting one terrace to the next to the rectangular pool with parallel lanes and flowering plants surrounding it, everything has a delightful symmetry. The famed Pari Mahal is south of it, while the Nishat Bagh, another of Dal Lake's most notable gardens, is north. It isn't one of the area's most significant gardens, but it does cover a good chunk of land, measuring around 108m in length and 38m in width. The garden also has a lot of legends surrounding it. One of them goes as such: Mumtaz Mahal (the beloved wife of Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal for her) once got gravely ill, and even the royal hakim was unable to bring her back to health. Shah then Jahan brought his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, to this garden, where she could recuperate from her ill health. Chashme Shahi is an excellent location for those looking to take the perfect photograph of Srinagar's stunning splendor. It is situated at precisely the ideal altitude to create that serene appearance that will stay with you for the rest of your life. It also boasts a lovely waterfall with breathtaking views that leave many people speechless. All these reasons make Chashme Shahi a must-visit spot for anyone visiting Srinagar.\n\n\n\nNote- As per the Jammu & Kashmir government rule Maximum of 4 people are allowed in the taxi.
