About Shalimar Bagh in Srinagar
One of the most famous Mughal gardens in the Kashmir valley, Shalimar Bagh in Srinagar has become the crown of Srinagar today. Built by the Mughal Emperor Jahangir as a symbol of love for his beloved wife Nur Jahan, this garden is an apt representation of the word ‘Shalimar’ that translates to ‘Abode of Love’.
The garden is nestled on the banks of the serene Dal Lake and has lush green terraced lawns, fountains, pools, flower beds and rows upon rows of chinar trees and pavilions.
Architectural Marvel
Shalimar Bagh was constructed on flat land along the Dal Lake and has a rectangular central layout with four radiating arms. It offers splendid views of the lake and the shallow terraces.
There are three main terraces that display a colorful picture. The first terrace is also known as the Diwan-e-Aam while the second is known as the Diwan-e-Khas. The third terrace is the Zenana gaden. Water fountain supply water to each Chinar lined terrace.
The garden houses innumerable varieties of flora that offer a marvelous play of colors when the seasons change. The Shah Nahar water canal in the garden is fed by water from the Dal Lake and runs through the center of the garden.
Chini Khanas
These arched niches render a distinct and unique feature to the terraced gardens of Srinagar Shalimar Bagh. Once lit with oil lamps to give the cascading water an exotic look, these niches now house pots with brightly colored flowers.
Baradari
Yet another distinct architectural feature, the four exquisite doors of the Baradari in the garden complex are rumored to be ruins of old temples that were demolished by Shah Jahan.
When to visit?
Most tourists flock in large numbers during spring and autumn when the garden is brimming with color and life.

Trip to Kashmir
I enjoyed throughout.....bt sorry to say I am rating hotels 3 star coz of Lidder View resorts only....coz I just hated the hotel. Throughout my Kashmir trip vl always remain my best memories...thankyouTrip to Kashmir
Everything was well organized and monitored ... we loved this trip and this will be unforgettable. Spl thanks to Ms Arwa and Mr Bilal for making all this and to travel triangle. Sonmargh was the best memory and had a lot of fun ther .Trip to Kashmir
thank to holiday planner for my tour with economy rate visit in Sonamarg bcz first time I play on snow with my child and my wifeTrip to Kashmir
As we reached hotel , the reception staff waited us about one hour inspite of showing booking invoice. In between they dint ask even for water while welcome drink was mentioned in booking invoice. Second day The cab driver carried us to pahalgam while it was not in our tour destnation . there the attitude of horse operators was very rude. At last day the driver asked to come at 10.30 am so that the flight might be boarded at 1.15pm but the driver couldn't reach up to 12.00. so in emergency we hired another taxy to send one family at airport.Trip to Kashmir
It was good managed by Classic holiday as per our plan. Miss Hina was so supportive till out travel start. We have only concern with TravelTringle who took the convenience charges and not provide us the feedback which they have to do .They just took charges from customer and forget. I had direct contact of travel agent (miss Hina) who has sent me all details on whatsapp. I have not to wait reaponse from Travel tringle executive. So trust on your agent through you have made booking not on traveltringle agents. Overall good trip .... Kashmir is very nice place which is a memorable for us. The good thing is that houseboat was vey nice means more from our expectations. Good behaviour of houseboat person. Will recommend same boat to other.Trip to Kashmir
All thanks to classic holidays kashmir, specially miss rabiya. She organised the trip perfectly. Iam a travel agent, still i wanted to book this package from local agent in kashmir to ensure safety. As media hyped so much about pullwama attack, so family nd relative was curious nd said no to kashmir, bt i stick to plan. And so do rabiya ensured us safe trip. From start to end trip was great. Travel triangle and classic holidays both organised a trip exactly wat we wanted. Hotel was great , every information was right, driver was very good, i forgot his name. Car was new etios. I went in april so found snow every wre in sonemarg, pahalgam, gulmarg. I thing i like to mention, union taxi and pony agents/workers are worse, thy dont care abt tourist, thy just want to grab money. U can reach sonemarg pahalgam and many places with tourist cab or self car, bt once u reach there, u hav to take either union taxi or pony, In sonemarg- 1000-1500 per pony/person ask them to include jacket nd boots. And go till thajivas glacier. Thy might ask u 3000-5000 In pahalgam - depends on points u cover , starting from 1,2,3,4 points. Well just tell u want to go beisaran or just first 3 point , including boots - 1500. Guide, ski rider, skate/sledge rider , every one will come around u, for doing activity, thy dont let u roam around, eat. Just keep on forcing u to do activity. Which is worst part. Even after a direct NO, thy keep on forcing u. So watever activity u want - do in gulmarg. Well this information was already provided by our organisers. For shopping of dry fruits/kesar - buy from royal kashmir dal lake . Go by shikara. In dal lake market. If any one want info about any location or activity or route can ask me . My Hotel review - ROSE PETAL (srinagar) - 4/5 CHINAR - ( pahalgam ) - 5/5 KOLAHAI GREEN - 5/5Trip to Kashmir
It was an awesome experience and the most memorable trip. My Wife and I had a wonderful time together. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip. All the arrangements Accommodation, Food, Travel & Guidance were all well made by the Travel Home. The hotel provided in Srinagar was very good. A special thanks to Safaa for the arrangements done and the way she coordinated with us was remarkable. And we cannot imagine this trip without our driver and guide Imran bhai. He guided us very well and he explained each and everything throughout our trip. .We enjoyed each and every place in kashmir. Mountains, Snow, Rivers, Valleys, Horse Riding and dangerous drive will be in our memories forever. Thanks alot Safaa, Imran and Travel Home.Trip to Kashmir

Our travel agent- Zippgo travels had given us the best of services right from hotels to accommodation to planning of the trip.

I give my special thanks to Mr. Mir and his entire team specially Ms.Arooj for holehearted support & cooperation during my tour. Thanks to Zippgo travels without whom this trip would not have been possible.we are very much satisfied with Zippgo travels TEAM & travel triangle app and their services.We loved this trip.Thanks travel triangle & Specially Zippgo for making our trip a memorable one. Area for improvement : WIFI facility needs to be improved in all hotels Pahalgam,Srinagar&Houseboat.Trip to Kashmir
