About Mughal Gardens in Srinagar

Srinagar is home to some of the most beautiful Mughal Gardens in India. Besides being perfect representations of Persian influenced Mughal architecture in its prime, Mughal Garden Srinagar are known for their exceptional beauty owing to their spectacular mountainous natural settings which remain unparalleled in all of India. Shalimar Bagh Srinagar in the foothills of Pir Panjal Range is a popular tourist destination in the Kashmir Valley.

Traditional Mughal Gardens

One of the main elements of these gardens is running water and a pool that would reflect the magnificence of the sky and the garden. Different varieties of trees providing shade, fruit and flowers, a plethora of colorful wild grass, a mild zephyr and birds chirping all around made the gardens a very relaxing spot. Running water in the canals and a reflecting pool to show the beauty of the sky and garden itself are the key features of Mughal gardens. The numbers eight and nine, considered sacred by the Mughals, can be found in the octagonal pools of garden architecture.  

The Mughal Gardens in Srinagar owe their magnificence and unparalleled heights of perfection to the Mughal Emperors Jahangir and Shah Jahan, both of whom had an unwavering affection for the region. Srinagar houses several picturesque Mughal Gardens that not only demonstrate the excellent engineering skills of the Mughals but also provide splendid views of the Dal Lake and other key landmarks.

Shalimar Bagh Srinagar

This is the largest Mughal Garden in India, located on the banks of the Dal Lake in Srinagar. It is best visited during the autumn and spring seasons. Covering an area of 31 acres, this public garden was built by the Mughal Emperor Jahangir in 1619 for his wife Nur Jahan. It is connected with Dal Lake via a 1.6-km-long canal lined by a walkway.

Nishat Bagh

Also on the banks of the Dal Lake, Nishat Garden Srinagar is one of the most beautiful terraced Mughal Gardens in Srinagar. It is often fondly referred to as The Garden of Gladness and offers magnificent views of the Zabarwan and Pir Panjal mountain ranges.

Pari Mahal Srinagar

Overlooking the Srinagar city from the top of the Zabarwan mountain range, this is a beautiful seven terraced garden that does not contain any water channels and cascades like the other gardens. Instead, a system of underground pipes feeds the water tanks.

Chashme Shahi Garden Srinagar

Built in 1632 by a governor of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, it is 108 meters long and 38 meters wide and is spread over an area of one acre. This beautiful garden is built around a freshwater spring in the Zabarwan mountain range. Located along the banks of the Dal Lake, this charming garden also boasts of terraces, a water pool and a large fountain.

Verinag Srinagar

Recognized by the ASI as a Monument of National Importance, this garden lies adjacent to the famous Verinag Spring, a major source of the Jhelum River. Constructed in the 15th year of the Jahangir's reign, the garden features an octagonal tank and design elements of traditional Persian Charbagh.               

Achabal Srinagar

Located in a small town of Anantnag District in the southeastern Kashmir Valley, this garden was also built by Jahangir for his begum Nur Jahan. A waterfall or a fresh spring in the garden is one of the main attractions here. It is about 142 meters long and 14 meters wide.

    In 2021, I had the pleasure of traveling to Kashmir with Peacock Holidays, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the breathtaking landscapes to the well-planned itinerary, everything was perfectly organized. The accommodations were comfortable, and the staff went out of their way to ensure we
    had a wonderful time. Their local knowledge and attention to detail made the trip smooth and stress-free. Whether it was the scenic beauty of Gulmarg or the serenity of Dal Lake, every moment was magical. I highly recommend Peacock Holidays for anyone planning a trip to Kashmir!

    Aditya's 6 days trip to Srinagar

    Well our experience with Jolly Holidays was good. As always its time to read good and bad things about our experience: Good experience: 1. We only booked cab and only 1 night stay at hotel with Jolly holidays at 20k for 5D6N We covered Pahalgam, Sonamarg, Gulmarg 2. Uneeba , our travel consultant
    was empathetic and helped throughout our vacation at Srinagar 3. Cab Driver, Aashik was helpful and always on time for pickups and drops 4. We were taken for site seen on time by our driver and always helped us throughout our vacation Bad experience: 1. You have to keep a time check on your itinerary and when you visit all places and do-not trust anyone, i feel itinerary planning should be arranged by travel agents. For us we felt that we missed many places such as Aru and Betab Valley; zeropoint at Sonamarg; Gardens at Srinagar and many more 4. We felt cheated many times in our travel period due to union cabs, pony’s and others so if you are reading this review please be careful and do-not trust anyone, yes anyone. One example : this is at pahalgam pony ride, we gave 5500/- for two ponys till baisaran valley however we met two couples at baisaran they hired pony for 2k for two ponys and other 1500/- for two pony. We went blank when we heard about it. Another example of thug happened when we visited a shop in recommendation of our travel partner there we purchased a semi-pashmina shawl at 3200/- and after that we went dal lake and visited another shop by our own and we saw same shawl, exact same shawl for only 1500/- without bargaining so please be careful when you visit Srinagar Summary: it was good experience with jolly holidays however they need to learn with travellers experience and provider better services. I will definitely rebook my vacation through jolly. Thank you!! Sonamarg

    We book this trip thru Travel Triangle and they connected us with Breath taking Holidays, Mr. Aqib. Aqib was so supportive and completely understood our requirement and tailor-made an amazing package. Shikara ride, hotel, food, houseboats were really really nice and mostly importantly the driver, Ra
    shid Bhai. Raashid bhai is so perfect with his driving skills, routes etc. He helped us with each and every activity we did on the tour right from bargaining for the horse rides, local shopping and got us to have the delicacies of kashmir. We would highly recommend Breath Taking holidays

    Md's 7 days trip to Srinagar

    We recently completed a 9-day trip to Kashmir from 29 June to 07 July 2024, and we booked our cab through Kashmir Heaven Tours and Travels. Our experience was nothing short of exceptional. Itinerary Planning: Faisal did an outstanding job helping us plan our itinerary. Every detail was thoughtfully
    considered, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable trip for our group, which included seven adults (four senior citizens) and two kids. Communication: Mr. Wani and Mrs. Afreen created a WhatsApp group to provide daily updates and were in continuous touch with us throughout our journey. Despite our trip coinciding with the Amarnath Yatra, they ensured everything went smoothly. Driver: A trip is made memorable by the group, but the travel and journey part is made memorable only with an excellent driver. A special mention goes to our driver, Mr. Manzoor. He was a soft-spoken and polite gentleman who was always open to changes in our plans. Mr. Manzoor's guidance was invaluable—he provided excellent suggestions for sightseeing, dining, and local experiences while always respecting our inputs and preferences. His punctuality, local knowledge, and friendly demeanor significantly enhanced our trip. Value for Money: We were provided with a brand new Innova Crysta at almost half the price compared to their peers in the entire Kashmir region. This added tremendous value to our trip without compromising on comfort and convenience. Overall, we highly recommend Kashmir Heaven Tours and Travels for anyone planning a trip to Kashmir. Their excellent service and attention to detail made our trip truly memorable. Doodhpatri Pahalgam
