Shalimar Bagh In Srinagar
Rated 4.1/5 (based on 1615 reviews)
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.

Few things command more respect than hard work, integrity, dedication and the ability to follow through.

This travel agent specially I would like to mention the name of an agent Mrs.Sana shah is an excellent listener and pays attention to detail; a lost quality in today’s world. Although our itinerary took us to Sonmarg and one off the beaten path village of locals, our agent managed to coordinate every aspect of...

Thank you Kashmir Holiday Travels for arranging a fantastic and memorable trip for us. Would higly recommend to book holidays via Travel Triangle and through Kashmir Holiday Travels. It was well arranged, hotels were very nice except for Royal park in Gulmarg. Although the staff and the service in Gulmarg was really good, somehow we felt that the room we chose was not well maintained and the dinner was not up to mark. Mr Bashir, our driver was really good. He took care of our trip quite well. He was there on time on all days, took us to best places w...

The trip was excellent and we enjoyed a lot. However the vehicle was not suitable for the trip. Both the AC and handbreak were not working properly. Apart from that the driver was very helpful and cooperative.

Iam writing this review after a long time, I booked Kashmir package through travel home. I would say there are the best in every aspect. Best thing was I got a call on Sunday evening for the booking, that made to book via travel home. The hotel they arranged was top notch and they were ready to upgrade the hotel for additional cost. The can driver was polite and helpful. Thanks travel home you have made my trip most memorable. Thanks again
