The Tulip Garden Kashmir, also called the Indira Gandhi Memorial Tulip Garden, is a sight that turns Srinagar into a painter's palette every spring. It is tucked away in the slopes of the Zabarwan Range, with the famous Dal Lake serving as its backdrop. The most extensive tulip garden in Asia, this colorful landscape draws hundreds of tourists during its brief but spectacular bloom.
One question that naturally arises while organizing a spring vacation to the valley is: When is the best time to visit Tulip Garden Kashmir?
Kashmir's tulip season is brief but quite remarkable. Depending on the weather and amount of snowfall in the previous months, the best time to visit the Tulip Garden Kashmir is from the last week of March to the second week of April. With more than 1.5 million tulips in 60+ kinds and a riot of colors—red, yellow, purple, orange, and white—the garden comes to life during this time.
Plan your vacation around the Tulip Festival, which is held annually to commemorate the garden's establishment by the Jammu & Kashmir Tourism Department, to get the most out of your trip. Alongside the tulip bloom, now is the ideal time to take in the lively culture, regional handicrafts, and Kashmiri cuisine.
The Tulip Garden, which is near the ancient Shalimar Bagh, completes the ideal springtime tour. Although Shalimar Bagh is accessible all year round, early April is the ideal time to visit both the gardens and the Tulip Garden Kashmir together because the weather is good and both are lush. This combination provides a unique chance to see Mughal architecture next to the most beautiful blooms in nature.
Venue: Cheshmashahi, Srinagar (next to Dal Lake)
9 a.m. to 7 p.m. (during the bloom period)
Tickets cost ₹25 for kids and ₹50 for adults.
Nearby Attractions: Shankaracharya Temple, Pari Mahal, Dal Lake, and Nishat Bagh
If springtime in the Himalayas is on your wish list, the Tulip Garden in Kashmir should be at the top of your list. This garden is the ideal starting point for your adventure around the valley, regardless of your interests—nature lovers, photographers, or just anyone hoping to take in the splendor of Kashmir in all its beauty.
